Governor's 1960 Flag

Possible Blue Ensign of 1956-1960

by Martin Grieve, 7 February 2004

The shield was a component of the arms of the Leeward Islands.  In 1960 a motto was added to the shield, to make the arms of the Virgin Islands.   Between 1956, when the federation of the Leeward Islands was dissolved, and 1960 when the arms of the Virgin Islands were granted, some flags may have been produced with the shield but no motto.
