English Sports | Boxer | Lightweight White No known disability No known religious affiliation Heterosexual Tommy Barnham was an English boxer. He had 31 fights since turning pro in 1936, but his career was cut short when he was recruited into the Royal Navy during the Second World War. His naval ship was torpedoed, but he surived 10 hours in shark infested waters with shrapnel wounds, eventually being captured in a prisoner of war camp for nearly 5 years. His boxing career resumed after the war, and his biggest career highlight was coming close to defeating world champion Duilio Loi in 1951. https://www.mylondon.news/news/local-news/obituary-tommy-barnham-fulhams-gentleman-6674920 (2023) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHhbaulcombe 8/22/2013 RAHAKirkbride 2/9/2023 836e2e91-5dd7-4777-b461-9d63afd2ba2b
