Jamaica's Lost WWII Generation Finally Tells Their Story
#JamaicanHistory #hiddenhistory #WorldWarII #OneLoveJamaica #humanstories Jamaica's oldest soldier was a child when World War II turned his community in St Mary upside down. No food. No lights after dark. Fear of aerial attacks. He survived all of it — and then went on to serve his country for decades. This is an updated version of our original interview with Retired JDF Sergeant Peter Xavier Williams, known across Jamaica as "Poppy Man." Born in 1933 in Long Road, St Mary, Sergeant Williams lived through WWII-era Jamaica, attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in England, helped hoist Jamaica's Independence flag in 1962, and has never stopped serving his country. New intro and outro have been added to place his story in the context of today's world. Original video first published on One Love Jamaica.
