James Edward Marriette, a Merchant Seaman from Guernsey, was born on 17 June 1896. He attested into the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and served during the Great War. Subsequently attesting into the Royal Navy on 24 August 1921, his L.S.G.C. was traced on 26 January 1933 and he was invalided from the service on 3 November 1937.
James Ronald Marriette, son of the above, attested into the Royal Navy for service during the Second War and served as a Leading Signalman in the Dreadnought-class Battleship H.M.S. Barham, that had seen action during the Great War at the Battle of Jutland. On 25 November 1941, as part of the Mediterranean Fleet, H.M.S. Barham was one of three battleships and eight destroyers tasked with covering an attack on Italian convoys when she was hit, at 4:25 p.m., by three torpedoes fired by the German submarine U-331, under the command of Lieutenant Hans Diedrich von Tiesenhausen. The torpedoes were fired from a range of only 750 yards, providing no time for evasive action, and struck closely together. As Barham rolled over to port, her magazines exploded and she quickly sank with the loss of more than two-thirds of her crew. Out of a total compliment of 1,184 Officers and ratings, 841 were killed. U-331 was forced to dive to evade the escorting ships before Barham exploded, and heard only the detonation of the torpedoes. Her captain, Lieutenant von Tiesenhausen, could not be sure whether he had sunk Barham, or merely damaged her, and left the scene before he resurfaced. In an effort to conceal the sinking from the enemy, and to protect British morale, the Admiralty censored all news of Barham’s destruction, and it was not until 27 January 1942 that the Admiralty officially announced her loss. Lieutenant von Tiesenhausen was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross that day. Marriette was amongst those killed, aged 19. He is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial. His medals were sent to his father, the recipient above.
