Portuguese in Allied Forces during world war two !

[António Fragoeiro]

Hi, everyone !

As some of you might know we have been investigating the presence of Portuguese service members in all branches of Allied Nations and its forces during the second world war and the civillian life in occupied France.
From armed forces, French Resistance, civillians, immigration, medical services and more.

From time to time, i will present names, family tree, military and civillian information, photos and more.

Hope you all enjoy this thread and the work being done.
