Note: These designs were proposed by the Trinidad Philatelic Society. A agreement was made with the Government of Trinidad regarding quantity, layout, etc. and these approved designs were forwarded to the Crown Agents and subsequently approved. Unfortunately due to proceedings already in hand for a Mauritius commemorative set, and their wish that Mauritius be given the commemorative issue as the British Colony for which postage stamps were issued, this issue never proceeded past these designs
