CPO. Albert "Jim" Barrett DSM
Royal Navy HMS Ilex
from:Portsmouth
Albert Barrett was my paternal grandfather, who was born in Romford in 1905. I never met him as he never returned to his family in Portsmouth and settled in Gateshead. He was awarded the DSM in recognition of his brave and resourceful service in the Dodecanese on 4th September 1940 whilst aboard the destroyer HMS Ilex. I believe he was once a gunnery instructor. My mother (his daughter) is now 87 years old, and I would love to be able to fill in the gaps of his life and find a photograph.
