    6. Hello, If you look at the conscription list for the Alpes-Maritimes department (Nice), you will see that there is only one man named PAULIAN. http://www.basesdocumentaires-cg06.fr/archives/indexRM.php On this list, first names are Jules Évariste and identification number is 30.

    7. Hello Einbauschrank, I have visited Louis-Marcel-Alexandre Boudet's personnel file in the military archives in Vincennes. His bio and portrait are online on my website: http://www.ecole-superieure-de-guerre.fr/louis-marcel-alexandre-boudet.html Boudet left the Army in 1910, soon after he was wounded during the Abbeys uprising, Then he became a colonial administrator in Ivory Coast . As a reserve officier, he was mobilized in the Senegalese troops in August 1914, and was further (1917) a staff officer in the "Armée française d'Orient". Demobilized in 1919, he disappeared in the wreck of the liner Afrique, on 13 January 1912, as he was going back to Africa. Sorry, the bio is in French language ; however, please, tell me if you have difficulties for reading. Best regards. François
    8. Hello, He is not on any data base (leonore, geneanet, memoire des hommes, etc). He is not mentionned in the historique du 5e regiment d'infanterie coloniale.
