QEC AFT ISLAND BADGES
QEs badge represents the re-unification of England in the merging of the houses of Lancaster and York in the half red and half white roses, the merging of spiritual and temporal beliefs in the country after the Wars of the Roses in the half white (spiritual) half green (temporal) background under the royal Tudor Crown of Queen Elizabeth 1st of England and Ireland.
PoWs badge has been extracted from her Naval Crest of The first Prince of Wales, It shows the 3 Ostrich feathers of the insignia of the PoW and the motto ‘Ich Dien’ German for ‘I Serve’.
