Thank you for the web sites Peter but (probably because I am a bit computer dumb) I have only been able to retrieve three badges Fernie,Tartar, Cornwall. The others must be there somewhere such as Barham, Devonshire, Grafton,Wallace Royal Sovereign and others. There does not seem to be a search engine to input the ship you are looking for. Any suggestions please.

Dear Harry
You certainly have served on an impressive number of ships!
I see what you mean about the badge sites, the number is limited. I did another search. I found two of the ones you are seeking:
HMS Barham: http://www.stevelancaster.co.uk/hms%20barham.htm
HMS Grafton: http://www.badge-of-pride.com/hms_grafton_blazer_badge.htm
HMS Devonshire, no badge but a nice pic: http://www.royalnavymemories.com/001_D02_Devonshire.jpg
... and I found some more badges here, 7 pages, http://www.shipscrests.co.uk/Embroidery/index.htm
and here http://www.pdwilson.co.uk/ and here http://shipsbadges.0catch.com/ShipsUK/index.htm
and, finally, here here http://ships-badges.co.uk/g1.htm
... and you might find this collection of photos interesting: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~cyberheritage/
On another matter, I see there's been no response to the valid points you raised on Snowberry. But if the story remains, so will all the valid points you have raised, so it's in the writer's best interests to respond.
All the best,
Peter
