Australian?

Latest comment: 16 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

He is called a Dutch Australian, but no details are given of his life in Australia or why he should be called Australian. He "returned" to Australia before he died, but when did he first arrive? haydn_likes_carpet 03:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

He was probably migrated to Australia after the Second World War. My main source of information, the Bhuiyan book does not provide any details about it. We have to manage other sources for it. But he's definately an Australian as well. Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 19:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
