Lapel Button Issued

I have a picture of him when he first enlisted, but there are no patches. He has a pin on the front of his uniform that has a blue background with a rifle in silver. He has two round pins on the lapels but I can't see what they are. He talked of being in Iceland, France, England, Italy and possibly Ireland. In a letter to my grandmother he said he saw his first German on July 13, 1944.

Thanks
