REPATRIATED AIRMAN TO BE MARRIED
Oxford Romance of Fighter Pilot
AN Oxford airman who was recently repatriated from Germany is to be married on Tuesday at St. Luke's Church, Cowley.
He is Warrant-Officer Pilot E.W. Perkins, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Perkins, of 21, Howard-street.
His bride-to-be is Miss Barbara Taylor, of 21, Crescent-road, Oxford.
Warrant-Officer Perkins joined the R.A.F. in May, 1939, and was appointed to Fighter Command.
In July, 1941, when he held the rank of Sergeant-Pilot, he crashed over France and was captured badly injured.
His fiancee was surprised when in the summer of this year he wrote prophesying that he would be home before Christmas.
The prophecy, however, came true, and in October, on his return home, he was given a great welcome by the residents of Howard-street.
Since reporting back to the R.A.F. he has been promoted to his present rank.
Warrant-Officer Pilot L.V. Rosser, of Bomber Command, who took his flying training at the same time as the bride-groom-to-be, will be best man.
PARKER – O'BRIEN. – On 10 March, at St. Peter's Church, Perth, Australia. Arthur Sidney, third son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Parker, Shotover-rd. to Patricia Lilian O'Brien, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien, North Cottesloe, Australia, and granddaughter of Benjamin and Rose Buckle, Abingdon.
