Britain’s brown babies

I remember being stationed in Germany in the 80s and early 90s. I was an MP, and occasionally while standing patrol at the PX a German girl with a mixed race kid would show up asking how to get in contact with her boyfriend? The baby, always a new born, in a stroller or in her arms. The excuse was that he “went to the field”. I can’t remember a time when we’d actually be able to track down the *******, who had in reality moved back to the US or had even been discharged. We called it “The Orient Express”.
