Symbolism
Badge
The crown in the form of a palisade symbolizes protection, and thus evokes Mr. Cole’s interest in the history of the Hospitaller Order as protector of the sick and injured. The black eagle evokes his German ancestry. The sword and snake allude to military medical units with which he served as a civilian instructor.
