Christobel Mary 21st December 1947\"\r\n\r\nAs the de Flondor girls grow older, there is a great deal of unrest in Burma and between the Indian Empire and Pakistan.  The “partitioning” caused rioting, which in turn led to aid from American soldiers in an attempt to resolve the situation.  Kathleen and Nanette helped the war effort by joining the British Military Directorate and the Women’s Army Corps.   While she was underage Babette met an American serviceman named Robert ‘Bob’ Burton and subsequently got pregnant. Due to her age and pressure from Kathleen, Bob married Babette and they moved back to the United States where they had four children.  \r\nNanette also met an American serviceman in the U.S. Navy named Marvyn ‘John’ Crim.  She too became pregnant, only to find out that John was married and had left for the U.S. Upon hearing this news Kathleen, who remarried to a man named Donald Wilkinson, offered to send Nanette away and claim the baby as her own.  Nanette refused and moved in with her mother (Kathleen) and Donald while she is pregnant. She gave birth to Christobel Mary on November 21st, 1947.  \r\n","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Photograph of Christobel Mary, by unknown, black and white gelatin print, London, 1947","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["B.43-2014"],"accessionNumberNum":"43","accessionNumberPrefix":"B","accessionYear":2014,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-06-24","recordCreationDate":"2014-07-18","availableToBook":false}}
