The Life and Times of  J  R  D  Tata  :

After joining the French Army he was posted into the regiment called Le Saphis (The Sepoys). 

Soon the Colonel of the regiment found that there was a member of his Squadron who could not only read and write French and English, but also could type, so he assigned him as a secretary in his office. 

Tata was once again transferred to a more luxurious office of a colonel. 

After a 12 month period of conscription in the French Army he wanted to proceed to Cambridge for further education, but his father decided to bring him back to India and he joined Tata Company.
