French forces under Victor Hugues's nominal control took Saint Lucia back from the British in June 1795.
In June 1795 French forces recaptured Saint Lucia from the British garrison. The operation was conducted under the nominal control of Victor Hugues. The sources place the recapture in June 1795 without specifying a day, so the precise date of 27 June 1795 suggested by the legacy record cannot be confirmed from the supplied passages. The recapture reversed the British occupation that had begun with Jervis's capture of the island on 1 April 1794.
