Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Aha, it Sure is Paul! Thanks for posting em too Ralph.
Infanterie Sturmabzeichen pic to add
The medal ribbon in the first picture is actually the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse [War Merit Cross 2nd Class], not the EK 2.
The first ribbon on the ribbon bar in the second picture is the Dienstauszeichnung der Wehrmacht 4. Klasse [Armed Forces Long Service Award 4th Class] for 4 years of service. Not sure about the other two; my first thoughts were the Sudetenland- and Memel Medals, but it looks to me as if the they do not match exactly. They might be foreign awards.
On his right breast is the Spanienkreuz [Spanish Cross] without swords (in bronze or silver), on his left breast the Flotten-Kriegsabzeichen [Fleet War Badge] and the Deutsches Reichssportabzeichen [German National Sports Badge].
The sleeve rank insigne is for a Stabsgefreiter; below that is an Abzeichen für Sonderausbildung [Special Training Badge] identifying him as a qualified Entfernungsmesser mit Seeziel- und Flak-E-Messausbildung [rangefinger with training for sea targets and anti-aircraft rangefinding].
The second one in particular is a great photo, by the way!
The problem with old family pictures is that everyone is always trying to Re-do them I actually found an original "colorized" version of the first photo and scanned it in its original form...it's an EK2. I do thank you for the help,its to bad the edges are messed up other wise we may have had the bars...
