Watch this, West Indians in London in WWII, yeah we had our guys flying planes before Redtails who knew!! Exaggeration on my part probably!

Check out Una Marson, a Jamaican woman who achieved much, a pioneer, who is not well known or celebrated in Jamaica at all.

Here is a little more on her!

Extremely versatile lady, a few of her accomplishments were.

First black woman programme maker at the BBC.
Haile Selassis'e secretary at the 1936 League of Nations, the precursor to the UN. it was una marson who typed and edited what we know as "War" the bob Marley song that come out of a Haile Selassie speech.

"Yeah WWW1 Jamaica had some 1000 who died" I have a list, not sure it's 1000 thought, as it as Contingents from T&T also.

I have filtered out the Hanoverians for a project.

Anyhow the last WWI Warrior to die was from Lucea,that also covers the BWI.
