A Newcastle Diocesan Faculty 1615 16/05/1947 was raised to erect a silver plaque in an unnamed church in Gosforth which was to read:
To the glory of God and in memory of David Charles Barrett, R.N.V.R. who gave his life for his country 23rd Oct. 1943 23 years. Given by Rolls, Freda, John, Eva, Nicholson and April.
Whether this was ever implemented is not known. In 2017 a search in St. Columba's Church and in St. Aidan's Church showed that there was no such memorial is either church.
Acknowledgments Rev. G. Short and Rev. M. Dalliston, and Dorothy Procter.
He is remembered on our List of Ships’ crews
