My Great Uncle John Robson from Langley Park in Durham went down with the Barham. Age 17. he was so young to give so much, a boy, but as brave as any man! God bless.
My great grandfather escaped from this but I never had the chance to talk to him about it. What happened to the survivors? My grandad remembers him saying he was a prisoner of war.
The greatest navy ever, at that time, slowly being dismantled - first by the Axis, then by successive governments. Damn brave men. angelalovemarcus is spot on. RIP brave boys. Only a handful came out of this.
my grandfather was one of the lucky ones to have made it out not without a few scrapes .the first time he saw this vidio myself and my father watched it aswell it was a strange moment . my pesce be apon those who perished
My Great Grandfather gave his life on this ship at this very moment.
I just received a certificate that reads:
This scroll commemorates
Officer's Cook 1st Class Calcidonio Balzan
Royal Navy
held in honour as one who served King and Country in the world war of 1939 - 1945 and gave his life to save mankind from tyranny. May his sacrifice help to bring the peace and freedom for which he died.
I'm a news cameraman and that's the last bloody thing I'd want to film. It's horrendeous.
God speed all those who died.
