I have recently started researching my family tree and my nana and great auntie have told me about two of their cousins who died in WW2. ALBERT EDWARD FELLOWS was one of the ones who were tragicaly killed that night. I would love to know if anyone remembers him so that I can relay stories to my nana and auntie. I don't know much about his role on the ship but I think he was 21 when he was killed. If anyone remembers him please email me. Brian Leonard Merrifield from Poole, Dorset UK said... 10/03/2001  NULL  Leonard Shiers I searched for HMS Barham whilst trying to locate records for my uncle Leonard Shiers, Stoker 1st Class who was lost with the ship. I was delighted to find this website, which enabled me to locate his War Graves Commission record, as I had been unsure of the spelling of his name. Although I never knew him personally, my mother spoke of him frequently and mourned his loss to the day she herself died in 1995. I have pictures of Uncle Len and would like to have this added to your photo gallery. He is pictured with another sailor, whose name is unknown to the family. Perhaps someone may recognise him? Jeff Andreoli from San Diego CA said... 07/03/2001  NULL  NULL To whom this may concern: I was reading about sea battles during WWII and came across the story of the HMS Barham. It was a short but interesting story. I want to commend those of you who have put up this outstanding web page to the memory of those valiant men of the Barham. Your good work here will help keep the memory of the Barham alive forever. Jeff Andreoli 2115 Waterside Dr Chula Vista CA 91913 Sara O'Donoghue from Effingham, Surrey, United Kingdom said... 27/02/2001  NULL  NULL Alan Matthews has contacted me asking that all those interested in the Barham and in particular in protecting martime graves look at a newsflash. You can find it at http://www.forcez-survivors.org.uk/ Michael Rattray from ELLON, Aberdeenshire said... 27/02/2001  NULL  NULL I am trying to find out any information about the HMS Barham when it used to visit Shetland in the late 1930's. I am trying to trace the crew members when it visited Lerwick in October 1937. Any piece of information would be helpful.
