HMS Barham

Can anyone help me, please, with the activities of HMS Barham in 1918, and (if I may be allowed to a little "topic-stretch") the immediate post-war period up to December 1919?

Many thanks,

Noel

In 1918 HMS Barham went into refit. She was given aircraft platforms on B and X turrets. From 1920 to 1924 she was part of the Atlantic Fleet.

Dave,

Thanks. I have to confess that my AB joined the Barham on 1st May 1919. Would she still have been refitting then?

My man had terrible discipline problems with Barham. 6 days in the cells inearly May, followed by 28 days detention for "absence" (so preumably Barham could not have been at sea then) and finally 42 days detention for "insolaence" before discharge SNLR.

He'd served in the Dardanelles on Cornwallis, and then on Theseus in the Med. and the White sea, with no problems whatsoever.

She came out of refit in April 1919 and joined the 1st Battle Squadron, Atlantic Fleet.
