 My grandfather, William Manhall was on this ship and I would love to hear from anyone who knew him. My father was a very young boy when it happened and never really knew him. |

| Charles B Hockaday |
| Hi, My names Maria Fiore Great -Grandaughter of Charles BHockaday who lost his life on the ship. He was a teacher and was only in his 40's. I remember coming to the memorial about 8-9 years ago. My Great Grandmother Berta Grace Hockaday, wife to Charles came too. Unfortunately she died November 5th 2003 aged 102....what an achievement. Since Gradma Grace died we have lost the contact of HMS Barhman and reunions etc. I do not know much about my Great Grandfather but only knew he was a lovely lovely man, and deicded to teach even though he knew the risks on the ship. I will have to ask my Gran for a picture of him, he was a very handsome man. He wrote stories and letters almost like a diary on the ship and sent them to my Grandma Grace, very interesting, still intact. Please e-mail me i would love to hear from someone in the organisation. Maybe this is my way of trying to find out more about my family and the history. Thanks Regards Maria Fiore |

| My father (Salvatore Anastasi) was a survivor of the Barham. Sadly he is no longer with us, having past away from a serious illness back in 1996. I recall many times when my father would recall the events that happened on that fateful day his mates that sadly perished. He often felt guilty having survied, and struggled with why he was spared. Obviously I am grateful as are my seven siblings. I wish to send my warmest regards and sympathy to all who had to bear the pain of loss on behalf of my father and all of his. |

| H Crockart |
| Whilst on holiday in Southsea (Nr.Portsmouth ) last year I discovered a magnificent war memorial dedicated to all the sailors who lost their lives on ships that sailed from Portsmouth during the war. My friend Douglas S Crockart lost his brother Able Seaman H.Crockart on that fateful day so I searched for the name and FOUND it. My friend Doug had no idea that the memorial was there and I took a photo which clearly showed his name. The Authorities were in the process of reburnishing the bronze plaques and re-gilding the names, so it should be now complete. If anyone who lost a relative on that ship must visit there if possible. From Memory there are over 18,000 names of sailors who perished and of course from other vessels involved in other actions Derek Pardoe |

| I am working on an article entitled "Where was God?" for a religious magazine. I need to contact people who have been caught up in disasters such as the Barham disaster to find out how their faith helped them deal with what happened. I don't wish to intrude on anyone's privacy, but I am hoping some of you will be willing to answer a few email questions. If you can help me in any way, please let me know. Thanks, Charles Lewis charleslewis5@cox.net |
