Hello All, Thank you Dori for the background information, you certainly have some wonderful documentation for your ancestor Andris SOUPLIS. I would suggest, if you have not already done so, that the Alsace-Lorraine department be your search area as far as geography is concerned. The Military Archives in Vincennes would be a very good place to begin locating his military service records. Being an officer it is possible that they will still have something on him. Hope these thoughts help in some small way. Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
