During the war of 1915-18 was badly wounded
He was joined by "a bullet in the mouth. He lost 26 teeth and had partially severed tongue. He stayed for two months with his mouth sewn and fed through a hole praticatogli by doctors . He suffered a lot. But he recovered.

Qurantatre giorni di viaggio per arrivare a Shanghai. Da qui risalirono il fiume Azzurro sino ad Hankow. Dal 7 ottobre viaggiarono in ferrovia sino a Laohokow ed infine, tra mille pericoli, giunsero ad Hingan il giorno 3 novembre, sede della missione.
E' vero che un giorno vostro padre ricevette una sua lettera un pò speciale?
Proprio così. Si figuri che chiedeva di inviargli una cassa con dentro tutto l'occorrente per mettere a dimora una vigna (is serros, su pudone, su serraccu, sa marra...etc), unitamente alle talee di nasco, niedda manan, oloppo e muscadeddu. cosa che nostro padre fece assai volentieri.
Fra Illuminato fece poi rientro final in Sardinia. He stayed first at Cagliari and Oristano. There he died in the Convent of St. Francis April 6, 1975.
