He was not killed on it but I would like to know some information if anyone has any Michael J Buick from Sunderland said... 19/08/2006  William "Bill" Buick I am trying to trace anyone who may remember my father, William "Bill" Buick, AB, Gunlayer, Pompey Rating. He was I believe the "Padres Runner". My Grandson is very interested in the family history. All the males have served in the RN. I have collected various photos and letters both from my father and Grandfather and passed these on to my Grandson. If anyone remembers my father or any stories about him, would you please be so kind and contact me on the above email address. May I at this time also congratulate you all on this wonderfull site and keeping the memory of the "Barham" alive t frost from midshipman said... 18/08/2006  len marchant an old mate said his dad went down on barham young len where are you Roberta Harrison from Wigan / Morcombe said... 18/08/2006  hm barham guestbook  James Gerrard James Gerrard was my uncle who lived in Wigan/Morcombe all I remember of him is a portrait of him hanging in my mother dining room in his HMS Barham uniform I know he was over 6foot tall as when he came home he was always banging his head on the top of doors!!!! I would like to hear from anyoone that remembers Jimmie. It was very sad to finally see photographs of the Barham and know my uncle served on her. To this day I find it very difficult to watch old footage of the war and the men that lost their lives. colin motton from kent said... 08/08/2006 I am trying to trace a woman who sent me some great photos of HMS Duchess but thanks to a PC virus i lost the lot.I think her name was sue.Could you please get in touch if you happen to read this. Jerard Marsh from Richmond, North Yorkshire said... 01/08/2006 iam the grandson of Arthur Andrews, and it is my mothers birthday next month and she would be delighted if she could receive any photos or information of Arthur back from when he was on the ship. If you have any photos or information on Arthur please email me its marshy15@hotmail.com i would be very happy to hear from you Kim Ward from Shepton Mallet, Somerset said... 29/07/2006  Arthur Bryant Arthur Bryant my late uncle who died aged 18 on HMS Barham, joined the navy at 16. He applied to join the navy and as he was only 16 required the signature of my grandfather. He refused but my uncle would not let the matter rest so in the end my Grandfather agreed to sign his papers if he managed to dig over a large patch of ground in one day. Knowing how much joining the navy meant to her son my grandmother helped him to clear the ground and dig it over. When my grandfather returned home at the end of the day he saw the completed job and duly signed the papers. After his death my grandparents never spoke of the way he came to join the navy. My mother remembers walking with her brother as he left home for the last time, he walked with her as she went to school, she turned left to wards East Pennard and waved to each other untill out of site he carried on the six miles to Castle cary Station and back to his ship.
