 manukarik, thank you for looking,

not sure if they are the same gentleman,

the problem's  I am having    1, I do not speak or read French  which is making everything so difficult x

and I have about 30 pictures with various soldiers and places of war , i.e their regiments  on maneuver and others,  I know they are all family , and I am trying really hard not to give them the wrong information when I put them in the family tree. x

I know surnames for family are SONET,  GUINET, CUVILLER, Bernizet,   But most of the photo,s will be Sonet and Guinet .

Pierre Alexandre Sonet
1892–1967
BIRTH 26TH JAN 1892 • think ? but not sure , born Le Lamentin, Martinique
DEATH  1967 • Sartrouville, France
 
He served in both world wars.

This is the above Gentleman Pierre Sonet, having a chance meeting with His Brother on the front 1917.

I did not know He had a Brother ?

First two pictures look like the same man maybe uncle Alphonse. the brother with Grandfather also looks like the same man to me. If so then he is Alphonse Sonet. Only my opinion.

Once again thank you,  I could not find His birth ??

I wonder if He just had a job there at some point Governer something ??

sorry off the point x   I am so great full what you found , but cannot make head or tale of it 

I promised the Family I would sort this line out , but did not expect to be given piles of papers, photo's , old camera's and glass slides to go through, I gather the medals got stolen on a train from France to England , carrier fell asleep and ruck sack got taken

You will see why I couldn't find a birth certificate for Pierre Alexandre SONET from his birth certificate in the link above (he was registered with his mother's name - ANCINELL).

Sorry - struggled to get Alexandre Pierre's birth certificate link to work so attach it instead (after having to shrink it!) Gives his date and place of death too.
