Julian Marryshow (1918 – 17 July 2012) was a Grenadian-born Royal Air Force fighter pilot during World War II.
He was possibly named after Julien Fédon, a folk hero in Grenada who had led a rebellion against British rule in 1795.
He flew sorties during the Normandy landings (6 June 1944, onwards), and was credited with the destruction of trains and rocket-launcher sites.
In the early 1970s, he was running an advertising agency when the Barbados Tourist Board invited proposals for a project to make Barbadians aware of the importance of the tourism industry.
In an attempt to attract tourists to the country during the low-season months he learned of the celebration by slaves in Barbados that took place at the end of the sugar cane harvest.
