A woman in the UK discovered she was abandoned at birth, and found by three Canadian gunners.

...she was adopted as a baby. It was only after her adoptive parents died, however, that her family dug into her past. 

The family's research revealed that on Sept. 23, 1941, Crabb's birth mother had abandoned her as a newborn. The baby was left hidden in blackberry bushes in Horsell Common, a 355-hectare park on the outskirts of London. She was blue and clinging to life.

Then three Canadian soldiers came along and saved the day.

"I owe my life to them," Crabb, 77, told CBC News.
