how\why\when was he made a national hero? 72.27.108.106 01:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC) As stated: 1969. Presumably leading the negotiations that led to the withdrawal from the Federation & Jamaican independence were the main reasons, but he was a Chief Minister/Premier, if not a Prime Minister (his son would take up that baton). He also has personal distinction in combat (MM) and in civil life (QC) and a long record of working for the political autonomy of Jamaica from Britain, ultimately resulting in a successful move to political independence.
What was his War Service? What Regiment and battalion? Where and when did he serve? When was he awarded the MM? A copy of the citation would be good (and London Gazette reference).
When was he made a QC? Which Inn of Court did he join? When did he qualify as barrister? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Protozoon (talk • contribs) 04:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
