NOT EXACTLY "WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES AND LYING IN A MANGER"

Bizarre.

Two British soldiers have saved the life of a newborn Iraq girl they found locked in a box full of weapons.

The prematurely-born child was barely two days old and had been abandoned by her mother.

The soldiers had cornered five terror suspects in the southern city of Basra and found the girl while searching their base.

She was not breathing when found in a 3ft-long padlocked metal box among rocket-propelled grenades, AK47s and ammunition.

But Private Damien Kenny, 18, from Wigan, and Private Jonathan Hunt, 21, from Blackpool, revived her with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
