Abstract
When Tubal Uriah Butler decided to reside in Trinidad in January 1921, he had already distinguished himself in leadership positions in socio-political organizations in his homeland—Grenada. He was the founder of the Grenada Union of Returned Soldiers and member of the Grenada Representative Government Movement. Butler was a volunteer in the British West Indies regiment in World War One. In 1931, he joined the Trinidad Workingmen’s Association (TWA) which was led by Captain Arthur Cipriani, one of the “Returned” soldiers whose interests included self-determination for the West Indian colonies.
