| The Times Online have put 200 years of the newspaper online which is a boon to history and family researchers. The sinking is reported on 28-JAN-1941 and there is a delayed report from Reuters correspondent Massy Anderson who was himself killed by torpedo on 14-DEC-1941. Commander Sorley\'s obituary appears on 03-FEB-1942 and the almost full casualty list was published on 23-FEB-1942. Unfortunately this edition is not yet viewable. My grandparents bought a copy and I notice that regrettably the names of the Maltese casualties were not published alongside their shipmates. |

| Lt Harry Hunter OBE |
| Eng Lt Harry Hunter (OBE Military) served on HMS Barham during the Battle of Jutland. I have fortunately inherited his records of the Battle, life onboard ship, Liverpool drydock and his official (engineers) report of torpedo damage sustained - together with a tompian. Great website. |

Thank you to everyone concerned with this Web-Site.
You have helped fill in some of the blanks of grandad McHugh\'s memories.
He wouldn\'t recall any war stories in front of his wife or his daughter(my mother)but even though I was very young he would tell me this about his ship:-
The \'\'Brumm\'\'.
He was in the forward turret.
3 torpedoes hit.
Magazine went up.
Had to have oil pumped out of his stomach/lungs.
Thanks again |

| William \"Will\" Howitt |
My Uncle Will was a survivor of HMS Barham, where he served either as C.P.O. or P.O. Guns, taking after his Father who was Fleet Chief Guns in 1916 at Jutland, ( William George Howitt )
After the sinking, my Uncle could never be out in the rain without panicking, and would rush indoors, such was the trauma he suffered.
The poor man went to bed for an afternoon siesta, and died in his sleep of a heart attack.
He was a lovely, very clever man as I recall, dearly loved by all of his own family, and by his sisters. |
