Person
Ambros Stöckl
- Soldier and teacher
Ambros Stöckl’s stations in the First World War can be reconstructed solely through some photographs from his left papers. The Tyrolean belonged to the Imperial-Royal Territorial Rifles Regiment No.3 and fought in the mountain war against the Italian Army, in the course of which he must have suffered a hand injury. Accordingly, individual photographs show him in a reserves hospital in Innsbruck – one of the pictures was evidently taken during a visit from his mother. Ambros Stöckl worked as a teacher after the war and was later appointed headmaster of an elementary school.
