Errol Manners

Sir Errol Manners K.B.E (1883–1953) was a distinguished Royal Navy admiral and author on theology and British Israelism.[1] He completed fifty-two ocean convoys during the Second World War, including ONM 249 which consisted of 153 ships.[2][3] He wrote segments of research in a lengthy book titled Bible Research published in 1946, which quickly became popular among proponents of British Israelism for its chapter titled "The Hebrew origin of English. Israelite heraldry in Anglo-Saxon countries".

He and his three sons, Rodney, John and Sherard, all served as naval officers in World War II.[4] John was Lieutenant Commander aboard HMS Viceroy when it sank U-1274 on 16 April 1945; in 2018 he became the world's longest-lived first-class cricketer.[5]
