Montserrat is a small island in the Caribbean, a British territory of less than 10 000 people, so the bar for determining prominent isn't impossibly high. The most well known entry to me (indeed the only Montserratian I could name prior to reading Gallery Montserrat) is cricketer Jim Allen, the only World Series Cricket West Indian not to play Test cricket but we also get entries on political leaders and unionists, teachers, health workers, playwrights and plantation workers. And we shouldn't forget the St Patrick's Day Martyrs, those slaves that led an unsuccessful and bloodily put down uprising back in the eighteenth century.

Perhaps the most interesting tidbit was that for many years any lime-based Schweppes drinks I had growing up in Australia were limes sourced from Montserrat. Cheers!… (plus d'informations)
