Thanks for the latest message, Arebi.

The thought of my uncle Wallace (Wally) Barrow being in that situation is upsetting, but thank you so much for finding his last resting place, and treating the relatives like myself and my sisters with such respect.

I do hope one day to be able to visit the site and pay my own respects to Wally. Until your discovery, we did not know the circumstances of his death or the whereabouts of his submarine.

Thanking you again,

Judy Barrow

Hi, I contacted you a couple of months ago about whether you have come across The wreck of HMS Sikh ( mentioned above) which went down off Tobruk 14 September 1942. I have some coordinates given me by someone on this forum, but no depth. They are apparently 32 degrees 05'N, 24degrees 00'E . I am trying to work out where they are. Is this an areanyou know?

Life is weird sometimes - I ended up on this thread on August 18th, 2011. Great story altogether, thanks for sharing.
 
Arebi, This thread has blown me away! The range of emotions it evoked actually made me tired. You are a very lucky diver. In one dive you found an undiscovered wreck and provided closure for many people. Job well done to you and your team!
