Melancholy Baby: 1: Norma's Story

on BBC Radio 4 FM

When over a million American GI's came to Britain during the latter stages of the Second World War, they fathered between 10,000 and 100,000 British babies. Now the offspring of these wartime romances are finding their biological fathers with the help of an organisation called Trace. This daily series relates the stories of five of these GI babies. Read Peter Barnard's choice on page 138.

Norma was 40 when she was finally told that the man who had brought her up was not her real father.
