Letter: City men on HMS Barham
My great uncle, Frank Osborne died aged 22 on the HMS Barham which was torpedoed by a German U-boat in November 1941.
The sinking became infamous due to the last witchcraft trial in England of Helen Duncan.

Hide AdI was wondering if any Star readers remember anything about the disaster?
I have tried to find out how many of the men were from Sheffield and have a few names so far but The National Archives are closed so my research has been limited.
I would love to hear from readers with information, andreabillard@gmail.com
