St Lucia Police had a button from 1958-68 with a title change to Royal St Lucia Police in 1968. Not found any military buttons yet.

Thank you David
Yea, I can find no reference to a military unit at all for St Lucia, just the Police, maybe they were there military, or paramilitary force in past and present times? Chris |

The St. Lucia Volunteer Corps was raised in 1916. By 1930 it had a Mounted infantry section, a Machine Gun Section and an Infantry Section.
Several nice badges to the unit. regards
