One of the members of my Artists of the First World War Facebook Group is Ognyan Hristov from Bulgaria., who posted this about Albert Reich: Albert Reich was a star artist during the First World War. He served with German alpine troops, travelling to Norway, Russia, Italy, Bosnia. Serbia. His work from the Macedonian Front is most interesting.
Born in Neumarkt 1889 Albert became an illustrator for the German children’s magazine: “Kriegsblatter fur die deutsche Jugend“ (Tr. War magazine for German Youth), a magazine that published patriotic stories for children.
Albert served during the First World War in the German Alpine Corps and travelled to Norway, Italy, Russia and the Balkans. Travelling from Bosnia, through Serbia to Macedonia, he documented what he saw in graphics and watercolors. Albert wrote and published a book about his experiences: “Mit Meinem Corps durch Serbien", 1916” from which these images are taken. Albert died in Munich in 1942.
