Military history
Barrett died just weeks before his battalion deployed overseas to occupy Iceland on 14th May 1940. Because the 5th Battalion was still stationed in the United Kingdom undergoing home defence duties and intensive pre-deployment training at this time, his death on 21st April 1940 occurred on home soil.
