| Uncle Jack one of my heroes - he not only survived the sinking of HMS Barham but maintained his zest for life through everything despite many illnesses. An amazing example to all of those who knew him, a great family man. |

| Egar Rees |
| My uncle was a Stoker on HMS Barham during WWII. Sadly he was lost overboard at sea on 5th June 1941. My understanding is that after the Battle for Crete the damaged ship sailed around the end of May 1941 to Durban (South Africa)via Alexandria, the Suez Canal and Mombassa (Kenya). Could anyone tell me please where the ship was on the day my uncle died and any further recollections people may have about him.Thank you |

| LeLacheur Hugh |
| This young man is mentioned in Robert Atkinson's books about the Scottish Islands. He ant RA were naturalists who explored the islands in their converted fishing boat "Heather". They had great plans for the future but as RA writes " Hugh was left behind in 1941" Tragic. RIP Hugh. |

| Henry Humphries |
| Henry Humphries was me wife's great uncle . His sister Doris Copeland ( Humphries) was his sister. Never a finer woman existed . Henry was a stoker on board and he sadly died in action on board the Barham . These men joined up to defend our country, they believed in our county and believed in good over evil . My own grandfather Edward McCarthy was in the desert rats in North Africa . All these men and women went to war knowing they may not return , but they did it . God bless them all and thank you . All of you for your sacrifice , your courage and your faith in your fellow countrymen. We will never forget you. Paul McCarthy and Alexandra McCarthy ( Copeland ) |

| 'Jock', AA gunner |
| My father has just told me about a friend of his from school who died on HMS Barham. He remembers the friend as nicknamed 'Jock', he thinks this was because Jock's mother was Scottish, but he can't remember his surname. Jock would have been born around 1921-22, as Dad, now almost 95, was at school with him in Springfield, near Chelmsford, Essex. He may have been a little older, because Dad did not join up until 1942, which suggests Jock was slightly older. Dad vividly remembers bumping into Jock on leave and Jock telling him about being an AA gunner and fending off waves of German attacks. I can find no trace of Jock on the Chelmsford War Memorial site but he may well be commemorated elsewhere and under his proper name. Would anyone know? I would like to be able to tell my Dad about his friend, but have very little to go on. |

| Reginald Doe |
| Reginald Doe was my Fathers brother, and although I didn't know my Uncle, my Father always spoke highly and with deep emotion of his dear brother. Reginald died onboard the Barham in November 1941 and left a baby son. |
