Evacuees' Wedding
p. 18 · Read in the full issue
EVACUEES from two different parts of the British Empire were married in St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney, on January 17. Sister Veronica Guerie (daughter of Colonel J. Thomas Guerie, of the 9th Punjaub Regiment, and the late Mrs. Guerie, of ““Wilkush,” Canter bury, Kent, England), married Mr. Bruce Hamilton, a well-known resident of Samarai, Papua. Sister Guerie was an evacuee from Singapore, and the couple met in Sydney some time ago, when Mr.
Hamilton was on leave from ATS duty with the United States forces in New Guinea. It was a quiet wedding. The bride was given away by her uncle, Dr.
E. M. Ramsden, of Sydney.
Mr. Hamilton has returned to civilian life, and is going north shortly to manage Muwo plantation, in the Trobriands, for Mr. E. Auerbach. Mrs. Hamilton has not yet received permission to travel to the Territory. Mr. Hamilton has turned re cently to authorship, and his book, “Folk Tales of the Fuzzy-Wuzzies,” will be pub lished shortly. It will be followed by another, “New Guinea Echoes.”
