Thanks for the suggestion bc. I did look into the St George's Channel Steam Packet Co., but they were taken over in the mid-19th century.
The crown makes it something connected to royalty or the government and the black button used by Queen Victoria's Rifles pre-1961 features St George below a crown but no scroll. One of the predecessor units of Queen Victoria's Rifles was the 11th Middlesex [St. George's] Rifle Volunteer Corps but is obviously too early for my button.
According to Wikipedia there was an Australian 7th Infantry Militia Regiment [St. George's English Rifle Regiment] in being in 1927 for a couple of years?
