 my uncle harry was on the barham but was lucky enough to survive although he was in a coma for 3 mths.his wife and family were told he was dead,his wife even had a memorial bench placed along eastbourne seafront as she had no body to bury.harry woke up in a hospital in the s.west and asked where his wife was.she was hastily driven from london down to the hospital for the reunion,the bench is still there!!
STEVE BAKER if it is of any interest i live 5 mins from the naval memorial in chatham if you want any pics etc just ask and i'll pop along and send you some.incidentally it is in a really high spot overlooking the medway towns and is a good spot for kite flying!! |

| My grandfather was a survior of the H.M.S.BARHAM.i have seen footage of the explosion and the sinking of the ship and wonder how there were any surviors at all the day. My grandfather was a stoker on board so its a miracle that he was one of the few surviors that day.I have seen the surviors list ,to my shock my grandfather name does not appear to be on there. would there be any records /information about him anywhere ? My grandfather passed away in 1990 but we thank god for letting him come back to his family that awful day.i have been to the war museum in malta. Its in the capital valletta its a must if you are there.it has a section on the H.M.S BARHAM . i have enjoy reading and looking through this wedsite, regards keeley |

Hello Sarah.
Thanks for the reply, not had time to respond until now. Have just checked the CWGC site and found him on the Chatham Memorial. Funnily enough my son and my nephew have both been based at Chatham at some point although both have have now left the service. Sorry, no photo of him available, no real dealings with that side of the family and his daughter my Mother has also past on some years ago. One of his daughters, my Mothers eldest sister, Marrie an American service man after WW11 and moved to America, she passed on when I was quite young. I have met both her children, when I myself was a child and her son once again when I was in my teens, he turned up on the door step in Liverpool, dodging the Vietnam War. Not very patriotic, cant say I blame him though, a senseless and brutal waste on both parts? I've seen neither hide nor hair of him since.
Anyway enough waffle!
Thanks again Sarah, if I ever visit Chatham, I will make sure I pay William a visit and let him know he's not forgotten.
Kind Regards |

Dear Sir,Some time last year I sent a photograph and a short description of my uncle Christopher Bean who died on HMS Barham aged 17 years old.
Although I received an acknowledgement, his photograph has never appeared.Your help in this matter would be appreciated.
Regards

| I am the grand daughter of Harold Hayter. I have submitted a photograph, that I believe was him.Although it is on the suvivers page, this is an error and should be on the lost page.My mum was only twoyears old when he lost his life. If anyone can help me with any info on him, it would be appriceated. He was acting chief petty officer telegraphist. What a fantastic face lift and keep up the good work, regards, Lynn |
