Your webmaster suspects this is a another son of Hippolyte Roger and Marie Forest. As two sons of this couple, Francois Adelard Roger and Augustin Alex Roger enlisted the same day, it is not unthinkable a third brother did the same. If this is the case, then this could be either Joseph Hippolyte Roger or Pierre Joseph Roger
