Description

From the Fairfax Media Archives collection. Percy Edmund Creed Coleman (1892 – 1934) was a union organiser and politician. In the 1932 NSW State election he lost only by a narrow margin to Jack Lang. After his defeat, Coleman was admitted to the NSW Bar in 1933, but soon took up the post of NSW (federal) ALP President. He died suddenly in his car a year after this photograph was taken.
