No idea

Don't see many windmills in badges. Found a French veteran's medal and Blackpool FC has windmill.

Are the people sailors? What's the person on left holding?

I am not sure what he is holding .. Looks like a ball at the end of a rope and a lamp The guy on the right looks he is holding a bow or something
Here is an enlarged photo showing a bit more detail.
