 Many congratulations and thanks to Andrew Gillespie - GrandNephew of a survivor - who has worked very hard to design and re-launch our new look site. (Feb 2006) Hopefully everyone will agree it now has a much more professional feel and as Andrew says, will now be easier to keep updated. Andrew responded to my request, posted on the site, for volunteers, last December and has done a brilliant job and come up with many new ideas. All comments, suggestions and feedback general on the new look Barham website are welcome and will be forwarded to Andrew. |

| I have posted one of my late father Melvin's videos to Google showing the end of the Barham. video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7009975008653689943 My uncle's brother died in the explosion but my father survived. With so many plates of steel launched into the air it is a wonder anybody survived. My respects to the members of the crew who post here. |

| I am ex R.N.Stoker. Currently secretary of Crosby R.N.A. Merseyside. Recently i recived a request from a family in Dundee, they were looking for the wherabouts of their brother who was serving in Barham in Dec 1939 when she topedoed north of the Hebridies. I found out he was burried in Bootle cemetary along with five other shipmates, I need to know why he was burried in Bootle as the ship came to Birknehead for repairs, so why not Birkenhead of Liverpool. I live close to Bootle cemetary so i have been able to take photographs for the family, however they would like to know how or why he was burried there. Was he killed in the action?? of badly injured and died later in a Liverpool hospital?? If anyone can shed any light on this matter the family would be so pleased, i am hoping to get them down to Botle this year with our Navy Asociation in attendance, anyone who is interested please email me. Many thanks in anticipation. |

| Sidney Petherbridge |
| To President of the Association, It was with heavy heart that I received word of the passing of my cousin Sidney Petherbridge, a member and officer of your association this past Monday. I would like you to know the pride and love he had for your association, The Queen, England and in particular his ship mates who survived with him and for those who were lost on November 25, 1941. I can state this with certainty and from a totally un-biased point of view. You see I am not only SidneyÆs cousin, but I am his American cousin. I had the honor and pleasure of talking with him every month over the last number of years and visited with him in England three times over the same period.. Our conversations would cover family matters, but would always come back to The Barham, the Association and his mates. You were all very special to this man. In his minds eye, you became family and he took great pride in letting people know that (as we say here in the States) his mate and he were a special band of brothers who when the time came stood tall for God, King and Country. He held a great sorrow for those who were lost and often said why me? I am sure Sidney would never have thought I would be writing this e-mail. Frankly neither did I. I was thinking of Sidney and I was drawn to the Barham web site and it became evident that I had to let you know just how special you all were to this man. Sidney will be laid to rest on January 3, 2006 in Winchester. As I said, I just had to let you know. Sincerely yours, Robert C. Webb Norton, Ohio |

| To all who served and fought in her I say, "Thank You and Well Done". She was a proud ship and went the way every fine warship should go...in battle defending her homeland and its people. Gods speed HMS BARHAM! |

| It would be wonderful if anyone who knew my Grandad got in contact with me, I would love to know what he was like. I also saw a message from a Helen Graham who said that Albert John Colley was her Great Uncle, so if you want to get in contact with me it would be wonderful to hear from a 'long lost relative'. |

| George Wells |
| My mother recently passed away so I inherited here photos and amongst them were ones of her cousin - George Wells. She also had a pendant containing a photo of George on one side and one of herself and Reg, my father her husband, on the other. I reget I did not look this site up on the Barham whilst my mother was alive. I am interested in chatting to anyone who knew George and any relatives (who obviously would be distant relatives of mine). Please Email me. Many thanks: John Edge |

| I have a great photo of HMS Barham taken during a visit to Shetland. She is at Anchor in Lerwick harbour. You can see this by visiting the Shetland Museum website, and, I believe, order copies. I consider it an honour to own this, and have it on display in my surgery. I will never forget the huge debt we owe to these men, who gave all for our freedom. Naval historians may also find other photos of interest on the Shetland Museum site, eg HMS Rodney |
