  [S16] Other Researchers - Charmaine Chamarette. She says he was in the army with her father - Arthur Neville Stanford Chamarette [S33] Other Researchers - Kerry Edwards. ...As you know Garnett Chamarette was in the Hyd Army when the Poilce Action broke out. I visited Kathleen in Perth many years ago and she gave me a lot of the Chamarette details that I passed on to you. [S89] Other Researchers - Yasmin Chamarette. Garnet was christened Mervyn Garnet. Cousin Soozie says the story is that Garnet was a sickly child and by changing the name this was supposed to help improve health. I know that a few people in my Mum's generation, including her, were named one thing and called another. I saw that it is a Jewish thing to change names to ward off the Angel of Death.
