Hunt for American GI who helped girl amputee in Tyrone

A former occupational therapist who lost her legs as a child in a tragic farming accident has revealed her lingering hopes of tracing the family of an American GI whose blood saved her life more than 70 years ago.

Mary O’Brien was just two years old when she was mangled by a horse-drawn harvester after falling asleep in a corn field on her father’s farm in the North.
