[@dreamki2commissionarchive541]

[INTRO - VOICEOVER] The year is 1913. War is stirring up in the air over France. A young man signs up for the French army, but due to his small stature of 1.58 meters or 5 foot 2 inches, he wasn’t of a stocky build. He would ultimately be rejected. He would return to his father, to the family farm, but not too long after that - in the Summer of 1914 - war broke out through the whole of Europe. This young man would run away from home and would enlist into the army once again, to the call of France. His name: Albert Severin Roche… and he would become France’s First Soldier. [VERSE 1] Before the war, he wanted more And ran away from home The war to end all wars had called his name Outcast, an unlikely soldier Barely worth his uniform Emerging as a devil dressed in blue [PRE CHORUS] Being the lone survivor At the trenches in Alsace One man holds the line [CHORUS] From the south to the front to the battlefield From a farm to a hero of France Served his country courageous and fearless As he halts the Kaiser's advance From the south to the front into no man's land From a farm to the end of the road Son of France, he's the first on the frontline Coming home, coming home Let his story be known [VERSE 2] Glorious, victorious Protector of the tomb Memories of his deeds, the cross of war He's a decorated soldier He's the pride of the uniform Echoes from the past, his story told [PRE CHORUS] Lined up for execution Saved his captain's life One man holds the line [CHORUS] From the south to the front to the battlefield From a farm to a hero of France Served his country courageous and fearless As he halts the Kaiser's advance From the south to the front into no man's land From a farm to the end of the road Son of France, he's the first on the frontline Coming home, coming home Let his story be known [INTERLUDE] From the south to the front to the battlefield From a farm to a hero of France Served his country courageous and fearless As he halts the Kaiser's advance From the south to the front into no man's land From a farm to the end of the road Son of France, he's the first on the frontline Coming home, coming home From the south to the front to the battlefield From a farm to a hero of France Served his country courageous and fearless As he halts the Kaiser's advance From the south to the front into no man's land From a farm to the end of the road Son of France, he's the first on the frontline Coming home, coming home Let his story be known [OUTRO - VOICEOVER] Albert managed to make it through the First World War, but not unscathed. He was wounded nine times. Despite all that, he managed to not only to survive the war, but to become a hero. He saved his captain’s life in No Man’s Land, captured 1180 prisoners, and defended the Sudel Line in Alsace by himself. General Foch was astonished by all this, and yet Albert was only second class in his records. Foch regarded him as the ultimate French soldier. He even made a speech for Albert on November 27th, 1917, and in this speech, he gave the title “The First Soldier of France” to Albert. Albert was then invited to dine with King George V, and even was selected to be one of the men to bear the unknown soldier to rest in the Arc de Triomphe. Years after the war, Albert became a firefighter to fulfil his call of duty. Then unfortunately, in 1939 - just months before the Second World War, France’s First Soldier who had looked death in the eye so many times, was struck by a passing car.
