On behalf of my dad (George Oliver, who sadly died last November) - your grand uncle - and the rest of the family, I would like to thank you for taking this on. We are all thrilled at the good job you are doing and mum especially is absolutely delighted. Tracey Price from ? said... 20/02/2006  www.watersideweb.co.uk/Barham  Glanville Brown Glanville was my great grandads brother who was unfortunately killed when the ship sunk in 1941. My grandfather received a letter (which I have) dated the 25/9/41 in which Glanville says how frightened he is and how sorry that he had missed my great grandparents wedding. A Christmas card (which I also have) was sent but arrived after he died. My Great grandad was extremely proud of his brother and would have loved to have seen a lasting memorial like this.

They ran saw mills for the oak decking. Died 1973. andrew gillespie from dublin said... 14/02/2006  www.andrewgillespie.com  NULL Ive added a new field to the guestbook - 'Crew names'. There seems to be a lot of posts from relatives of crew members looking for information. This new field seems a good way of posting a summary for quick browsing. What do you think? Bryan Law from Saltdean, Brighton said... 12/02/2006  NULL  John Oliver Law I have just discovered your web site!! My father John Oliver Law was killed when the Barham was sunk in 1941. My mother Nellie Law is now 94 and at present still going strong. I was 3 at the time of my father death, therefore have no recolation of him at all, only what my mum can remember and now at 94 her memory is becoming dim!! As far as I know dad was serving as Chief Petty Officer/ Master at Arms at the time. It would be nice to know of anybody that knew him persoally, or if you have any further information what ever Mike Lynd from London, England said... 12/02/2006  http://www.worldisround.com/articles/16107/index.h  Douglas 'Ginger' Lynd Great redesign of the web site - well done!

(Feb 2006) Hopefully everyone will agree it now has a much more professional feel and as Andrew says, will now be easier to keep updated. Andrew responded to my request, posted on the site, for volunteers, last December and has done a brilliant job and come up with many new ideas. All comments, suggestions and feedback general on the new look Barham website are welcome and will be forwarded to Andrew. Geoff Wearmouth from Weardale, UK said... 04/02/2006  video.google.com/videoplay?docid=70099750086536899  NULL I have posted one of my late father Melvin's videos to Google showing the end of the Barham. video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7009975008653689943 My uncle's brother died in the explosion but my father survived. With so many plates of steel launched into the air it is a wonder anybody survived. My respects to the members of the crew who post here.
