 I have a page for my uncle Ron Jerrard RM Band who lost his life that day, can anyone supply a group photo of the RM Band of Barham? Smutts (Smith) a survivor cannot find his copy. Anyone wanting a copy of Frank Wade's book can purchase via a link I have set up on my page. I have a Review started, Frank has sent me a copy. |

| My father William John Buick AB served and died on the Barham. I am his only son. His sister who was very close to him died in October 2000. I have only met one one survivor, a cook at HMS Collingwood in 1957. I would be very interested to be contacted by anyone who knew my father,and could tell me about him. Congratulations on an excellent site. Very informative. My Best Regards to all Members of the Association. May we never forget all your shipmates who were lost Mike Buick Jan 2001 |

| Arthur Erskine Sherwell |
| You have created a wonderful memorial to all those brave men who gave their lives on HMS Barham. I am particularly interested in any possible information anyone may have regarding Surgeon Lt. Arthur Erskine Sherwell RNVR whose bronze memorial plaque hangs in St. Petrock Church, Harford. Arthur was a distant cousin of mine who I became aware of through my interest in family history. His plaque hangs in Harford not because he was local to the area, but because our family roots are nearby in Ivybridge and Cornwood. Many of the Sherwell ancestors are buried in the rear churchyard there. Arthur and his family were originally from the bristol area although he may have moved from there to London before or after receiving his medical degree. He was born in the first quarter of 1902 in Keynsham, Bristol. Dr. Arthur Erskine Sherwell, MB, Ch.B, MRCS, LRCP had connections with Rainham, Essex and also Bristol University in the 1930's. His wife was also a doctor and lived in Bayswater, London. During HMS Barham's visit to South Africa, Arthur visited another cousin, Morris Frank Sherwell and is remembered by Morris' daughter, Elizabeth, for reading children's stories to her. I have a photograph of the memorial plaque in Harford, and would be happy to scan it and upload it if you would like. Thank you again for your wonderful site.

| ANTHONY PALMIER |
| I was introduced to your website by my brother Godwin Palmier who wrote in on the 15th.December 2000. Our dad ANTHONY PALMIER was one of the few to survive. Dad joined the Royal Navy as an Assistant Steward on the 9th.October 1935 at ST.ANGELO. He was commissioned to sea on the 12th.October 1935 on H.M.S. CYCLOPS. His CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE indicates that he served on the H.M.S. BARHAM from the 7th.June 1937 till 31st.January 1938 and again between 8th.March 1941 till the ill-fated day of the 25th.November 1941, this time as a Leading Steward. Dad was decommissioned from the Royal Navy on the 5th. of October 1957. During his Naval Career he has served on several ships, to name a few, H.M.S. Bryony,Queen Elizabeth, Warspite, Aberdeen, Drake, Woolwich, Goldfinch, Cygnet, Peacock, Falcon and Battersea. Dad died of a natural cause on the 15th.January 1989, eleven days short of his eightieth birthday. Part of his epiteph reads, "What he suffered he told but few. He did not deserve what he went through." Allow me to pay my respects to all those gentlemen who unlike my dad were less fortunate on the day. May God grant them the Eternal Salvation they so richly deserve. I would like to thank those individuals who through this website have given us the opportunity to pay a fitting tribute to such gallant men. |

| Albert Edward Cecil HALL |
| I have only just discovered this excellent website. My grandfather CPO Albert Edward Cecil HALL served on the Barham from 1939 until his death in May 1941. He was killed in action when X turret received a direct hit from an Italian bomber. It would be great to hear from anyone who may have known him. The few mementos I am lucky enough to have serve as a poignant reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by so many during WW2. |

| Harold Pressgrave Smith |
| The HMS Barham Suviviors Association should be commended for the work they have done over the years to ensure that the sacrifice of those 800+ men has never been forgotton in the 59 years since the sinking. My Uncle Harold Pressgrave Smith who was from Grimsby was on the ship at the time of the sinking, and unfortunatly was killed. He was only 17 years old at the time. My Father himself in the Royal Navy during WWII remembers his brother with great affection and both my father and I would like to exchange correspondance with remaining Barham Suvivors, to find out if anybody knew him and could give us more information on his time on HMS Barham, I know it may be a difficult task to try to remember one face out of a ships compliment of 1359, not made easier with the passing of nearly 60 years, but if anybody can help in this matter please email me. Many thanks. |
