Auxiliary from

The
silver
(Argent) tower
on blue
(Azure) field
with two
windows above
the gate was
chosen to
represent the
armiger's
prior service
in defense of
the nation.
The broken
sword
represents
wounds
sustained, by
the armiger,
in the line of
duty and the
Talbot heads
are a
reference to
the Hull coat
of arms.
The
usual crest is
replaced by a
priest's
gallero, a
broad-brimmed
hat with
tasselated
strings, in
violet
(Purpure).
The
motto,
"Conforte
Manum Meam Pro
Operam Tuam"
is
paraphrasing
Nehemiah 6:9
and Nehemiah
2:18,
respectively).
