H (Alva) Thomas My father, W.A. H (Alva) Thomas (WCMDR) told me a number of times that he was on the Barham for a short period of time. He then was transferred over to the Repulse. He was quite an avid photographer and I can recall watching some of his moving pictures. While watching these pictures many years ago, with my dad, he told me that one of the ships that were depicted was the Barham. I still have these moving pictures and will see if I can find the correct reel.

We were all very close to the late Bert Culcutt who is sadly missed by all. Rose Barham from New Haw, Surrey said... 21/05/2001  NULL  NULL My father told a story about being rescued by HMS BARHAM. When he told them his name..... Well his words were that he didn't think he'd ever been so drunk. Unfortunatly he is long gone now but my Mother will most likely remember more details. Thank you HMS Barham for the rescue. Visiting this site was a great pleasure, I'm sure I'll visit again.

Bill Mayhew from BRISTOL said... 09/05/2001  NULL  NULL WHAT A GREAT SITE .I often wondered about u-boat sinking .God bless. Never ever forget any of our brothers lost at sea Robert Way from Dover, Kent, England said... 07/05/2001  NULL  Robert Victor Henry Way My father Robert Victor Henry Way served as a Royal Marine gunner (6" turret) on the Barham but was transfered a month or so before that fateful day. My father who served from 1937 until 1946 always regarded the Barham as his best posting, and spoke with great fondness of the ship and its crew. He lost many friends on that day and the memory stayed with him until his death in 1978. I would just like to honour the brave men of the Barham on behalf of both my father and myself. eric pitt from ? said... 29/04/2001  NULL  eric r rosewell i would like any information about my father Our guestbook is now closed for new messages.
