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

Excellent work! Wonderful to put a face to him.
Cheers, Ade.
Yes your right Ade , the icing on the cake if that's the right way to put it. To have found him nearly 3 years ago and now to have a photo of the young lad and contact and thanks from the family make it all worth while.
No thanks to the Volksbund i might add

Indeed!
Interesting to see he wears the Norge national armsheild, yet he was not born there.
Cheers, Ade.
Yes i'm not sure whether that was a Regimental command decision that all personnel would wear the Norge armshield or whether the individual soldiers did it to show loyalty to their regiment.
