Talk:Norman Manley

National hero
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)

 * For Norman Manley's war service, see the Jamaican newspaper articles and other internet sources listed among the references. Award of the Military Medal was announced in the 6th Supplement to the London Gazette of 30th October 1917 (2/11/17) to "L/41805 Gnr. NW Manley, R.F.A. (Earl's Court, S.W.)." The terminally suspicious can find it at thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30364/data.pdf on page 13. Other references relate to the award of the Order of National Heroes (ONH). He was originally made a King's Counsel. NRPanikker (talk) 16:51, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

His age at time of mother's death?
Article states he was born 1893 and mother died in 1913. That would make him 20 at her death, but claim is made that he was 16 when orphaned. Any sources to clarify? BiblioPhile (talk) 21:41, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

This is so sad
he was born when my father was born 2605:A200:9201:2D55:A111:F942:3836:3D46 (talk) 22:33, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
