A GERMAN WIFE
AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE OFFICER'S ROMANCE BROUGHT DOWN FIANCE IN WAR TIME Press Association — By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, February 3. (Received February 4, at 9.15 a.m.) The newspaper ‘People’ states that an Australian Air Force officer, Robert Larkin, is proceeding to Australia tomorrow from Dusseldorf, after marrying Frauiein Edda Ritzau. Larkin, in the war time, brought down a German aviator named Karl Niebuhr. He tried vainly to trace the next of kin in order to restore Niebuhr’s effects, and eventually located Frauiein Ritzau and handed over the photographs and other articles found on the body of Niebuhr, who was her fiance. A friendship sprang up between Larkin and Frauiein Ritzau, and she consented to marry him, he having fallen in love with her from a photograph.
