He joined the army and he also had a cabinet maker job while there. When he was about to leave the army, a war came up in the 3 Portuguese provinces in India and my father went there to serve in a war. The Portuguese dominated and my father left the army and stayed there working for the Portuguese government. In a short time the Indians toke over the 3 provinces and my father became a prisoner for 5 months. After he was released from jail, he went back to Portugal and married my mother. At that time he opened his own workshop for cabinet making. In 1964 or so, a Portuguese government offered him the same job he had in India, this time to work in Macao, another Portuguese province administrated by the Portuguese. Let me say that his job was to supervise public jobs. In 1969 he migrated to Australia on his own. He's now living in Portugal since 1990 or so.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
