Remembering the sacrifice of Barry's Merchant Seamen:
DURING the First World War no fewer than 262 Barry men lost their lives whilst serving with the Merchant Navy. Whilst there is rightly a focus on the part that the Merchant Navy played in the defeat of Germany in the Second World War, the role that the service played from 1914-18 is often overlooked.
Some of their stories involving Barry men are told here.
