HMS Barham lost 25 Nov 1941

If anyone has a connection with HMS Barham, or with anyone who lost their life when she was torpedoed and sunk in the Mediterranean on 25 Nov 1941, this site may be of interest... I've just spent well over an hour looking through all the fascinating, and often saddening, images here: http://www.worldisround.com/articles/16107/index.html

My interest is that my son's paternal great-grandfather was one of the 869 who were lost with the Barham.

I have a bit of a connection with the Barham, but not directly.
On Dec 12, 1939 at 0400 the HMS Barham collided with the destroyer HMS Duchess off the coast of Mull of Kintyre causing it to turtle. My grandfather Stoker Petty Officer George Webb was one of many casualties on the Duchess.
