info from Michael  polaris.smith68@gmail.com  

We, the Smith family, started off at St. Thomas's in Kidderpore in Calcutta and after a few years we all moved to La Martinere Calcutta.  No doubt you are aware that there are 3 schools named La Martinere, one in Calcutta, the other in Lucknow (of Indian Mutiny fame) and the third one in Leone in France.  All of them were created by Major General Claude Martin (of the French Army).  Leaving school after doing 'Senior Cambridge exams I started a 5 year Marine Engineering apprenticeship at The Shalimar Shipbuilding and Engineering Works in Shibpore.  My brother Geoffrey started a 5 year Cadet-ship at about the same time as I started my apprenticeship, with The India Steamship Company based in Calcutta.
I joined The Bank Line after doing 5 years  to sail as the humble 6th engineer on the M.V. Teakbank.  Little did I know that my first trip would be around 17 months before we got back to Cal!!  Being a sucker for punishment I signed on again as 5th Engineer and did a further 18 months and finally signed off in Vizag.  All of us by then had clearance to immigrate to Australia.  I went first after spending 2 months with Mum and Dad.  I left for Oz about a year before they did and continued my Marine Engineering Career serving mainly on Shell tankers and Oil Rig supply vessels till around 1986 after doing my Chief's Certificate.  Most of that time I lived in Melbourne.  I was stationed in Balcatta WA for about 2 years while working on the supply vessels off the WA coast.  Some of the AI's from school days lived there but I think they have all passed.  Janet ran a Graphics business for a number of years (she has retired recently) and lives in Aspley, my brother lives near her and like myself served on the Oz coast.
