Photograph album compiled by a German soldier and athlete, containing 160+ photographs, various sizes, most taken during his service and leave in Tsingtao, China and Kurume, Japan. The photos, captioned in a calligraphic hand, show a variety of scenes in Japan, including street scenes, locals, a sumo match, port facilities, etc. Returning to China, the soldier, a bodybuilder, and strongman are shown in uniform and at various competitions, with other photos showing groups of his comrades in defensive works and on parade, locals including an opium den, etc., with scattered photos throughout of Japanese, South Pacific islanders, Indians, Chinese, and other civilians. Very good.
