Elie Emile William Auguste Solier (17 May 1914 – 2 July 1984) was a New Caledonian lawyer and politician.
Returning to New Caledonia, he became one of the leading lawyers in the territory,[1] and began serving as a magistrate.
During World War II he helped oust the pro-Vichy administration in 1940.
In May 1942 he and several other key figures fell out with Georges Thierry d'Argenlieu, a visiting representative of Charles de Gaulle, resulting in him being deported to Walpole Island alongside Governor Henri Sautot.
In the same year he and Winnifred divorced and he married Odette Antoinette Augustine Antoniou, with whom he had a daughter.
