Hi Paul, there is a crew list here for the Barham at the time it was sunk in 1941. It's got casualties and survivors, if it's of any use. http://www.watersideweb.*co.uk/Barham/casualtylist.htm Christine |

I GOOGLED up on the Hood about 4 yrs. ago. for a resident in a care home I worked. Theres a whole site dedicated to it. (just looked it up again thanks Mr. Google !) it's.. w w w . h m s h o o d . c o m / c r e w / c r e w h t m l (theres a whole lot of books dedicated to Repulse (its sister ship) etc look under Battle ship booksfor HMS on GOOGLE xx ) It 's got tons of info. Photos of many who perished. and details of what their rank was onboard etc. people can add to it if they have 'photo's etc. I'm sure it has links to which you might require... Mr.S. used to go on about his Dad who died going down on the Hood..... We all pretended not to hear (!) no-body knew what he was really on about until his sister told us the story. I've since seen a big book titled the same... i'll Google it up ,see if I can find refrence. It has lots of pic's with the men onboard, from it being built launched etc. Tarra for now.k xx |

Paul, Google HMS Hood, I am sure there is at least a partial list of the crew who were on it when it sunk. My late father in law served on it, but didn't make the voyage when it sunk cos he was pished!!!!!!! maggie |

Paul Hudd indeed! It's so easy for family history to be distorted. BTW I think you will find I mentioned the Hood way back in this thread... nell |

I cant find him on the crew list, I must have made a mistake, it cant be electra. Knowing my family, the whole story is probably a complete fabrication, he probably worked as a pimp or something! |

Yeah it is the Hood, I just asked family again, I misheard them! lol. Now I need to find out the name of its sister ship which apparently rescued the survivors. My Grandad was on it apparently. |

Hi Paul, I think it could be HMS Hood, googled and couldnt find a Hudd but the Hood came up and that was hit and sunk by the Bismark, some good info on the net about it. Debs x |
