    • Ex-Italian POW To Marry Widow Of His Sponsor

      When attractive Trayning widow, Mrs. Doris Chawner (36), marries Aldo Remoto (34) of Venice, on October 9, at Christ Church, Claremont, their wedding will be unique.

      Mr. Remoto was an Italian POW, employed on the late Mr. Chawner's farm at Trayning. During their association, a strong friendship grew between the men.

      At the end of the war, Remoto was repatriated to Italy, but his employer promised to nominate him as a migrant, should he wish to return to Australia.

      For 2 years, Mr. Remoto had to remain on his father's farm near Venice. Then the opportunity came to migrate here. He returned February 9, last year, but before he landed, his friend and sponsor had died during an attack of influenza.

      Mr. Remoto went to the farm and assisted Mrs. Chawner to manage the property, but six months later, was stricken down by rheumatic fever.

      During the next 6 months he was confined to the house and nursed back to health by Mrs. Chawner. After his recovery, Mr. Remoto left Trayning. He has since been employed in Perth and Kalgoorlie.

      Mrs. Chawner has 3 children. The 2 boys,aged ll and 9, attend Christ Church Grammar School, and her 6-y-o daughter is at home. The children are thrilled. That means a lot to me." said Mrs. Chawner.

      I have learned to speak and write Italian and I have taught Mr. Remoto English. At Trayning, Mrs. Chawner is noted for her artistic accomplishments. She is a talented painter, amateur actress and gardener.

      One of the greatest interests she and her fiance have in common is their love of gardening and opera, Mrs Chawner

      . Mrs. Doris Chawner, who marries a former Italian POW at Christ Church, Claremont, on October 9. Rev A. J. Dobson, of Christ Church, a former rector of Trayning, and a friend of her late husband, will celebrate the marriage. Mrs. Chawner (whose late brother was a Pathfinder pilot) and her late husband befriended many POW. [3]
