The two telegrams arrived at my grandmother's home in the same week. Josh Clarke from Milton Keynes said... 29/08/2016  Cecil J.W. Clarke C.J.W. Clarke was my Grandfather, he survived the Barham sinking as a boy sailor. He continued in the RN, serving eventually aboard HMS Hermes as an Air Electronics Officer for the Buccaneer force. He sadly passed away in 2005 and is missed greatly by his family. Kim Plant from Derby UK said... 25/08/2016  Reg Plant My Uncle Reg survived the Barham sinking. He was my dad's older brother.

Today this would be known as PTSD.The crew list at time of sinking shows several Harrisons and one Harry Harris, but the details don't fit. Would appreciate a correction to his memory. He passed away in 1965. Alan Hornsby from Stockton said... 02/07/2016  Stoker A G Hornsby My Grandad Andrew Hornsby was 15 either when he signed up or when he served as a stoker on HMS Barham during the battle of Jutland. I can remember him telling me he also served on an e-boat, a minesweeper and a hospital ship (or was he a patient on the hospital ship). He told me he was one of 2 survivors from one of these ships. He was discharged out of the navy after the war on medical grounds. I can also remember him signing some cards commemorating the 60th anniversary of the battle of Jutland.(RNSC 24) I have decided to research his past. Any suggestions about where to begin would be appreciated.
