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 |

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 |
