Albert was born in Reauville in the department of Drôme in south-eastern France on the 5th of March 1895. He was the third son of a modest family of farmers. His father was Séverin Roche and his mother was Louise Savel.
France's Albert Severin Roche became known as “The First Soldier” of France for his heroism and bravery. Despite his small stature and his peers' scepticism, by the end of WW1 Albert had more than proved himself, having captured over 1,180 prisoners while fighting for the French Army.
