Ku Lang Su Municipal Police Cap Badge

[1314]

Not strictly British or indeed Colonial but this is perhaps the most appropriate place. Ku Lang Su was an island off the Treat Port of Amoy (now XiaMen) in Southern China.It was administered by a Municipal Council,as per Shanghai,and had a small Police Force ( 2 Officers - Brits- and about 30 Indian Rank and File with a few chinese detectives and clerks.).The Force operated on the Island of Ku Lang Su and was abolished on the Japanese occupation at the early part of WW2.
