<p>The hunt is on for the pregnant girlfriend of a British soldier who called from the front line to propose &#8211; but dialled a wrong number and left a message with the wrong woman.</p>
<p>In the emotional answerphone message, the soldier &#8211; thought to be calling from Afghanistan &#8211; tells his girlfriend Samantha how much he loves her and their unborn child, before finally proposing marriage.</p>
<p>The 90-second call was received by 44-year-old mother-of-three Diane Potts, who heard it when she returned to her home in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, last Thursday.</p>
<p>Mrs Potts said the unnamed soldier did not sound older than 18 and spoke with a Sunderland or Chester-le-Street accent.</p>
<p>Since then the internet, radio and newspapers have been inundated with people trying to trace the young man and his potential bride-to-be. Hundreds of messages have been posted on Twitter and a Facebook page has been created urging either of them to get in touch.</p>
<p>The message begins: &#8220;Hi baby, it&#8217;s me. I am sorry I could not call you last month, but you know what it is like out here. I should be back in three months so we can be together then.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of my guys has just been blown up so I feel sad, I really feel sad&#8230; Don&#8217;t ever forget I love you, I love you so much, I love you with all my heart and I was going to ask you, don&#8217;t answer, obviously you can&#8217;t answer, but will you marry me?&#8221;</p>
<p>Mrs Potts, an alternative therapist, said: &#8220;I was a bit shocked at first and I did wonder whether it was genuine. It&#8217;s not the usual message. But I felt really touched by it. It was just a young guy and it sounded by the contents of the message that he was somewhere on duty somewhere in the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added: &#8220;And the fact he used the local area code might mean Samantha comes from up here. But it could be that he&#8217;s a local lad who has moved away to another part of the country but still speaks with a North East accent.&#8221;</p>
<p>A British Army spokesman said: &#8220;It&#8217;s a very personal message and he&#8217;s probably a little embarrassed about what he&#8217;s done, and about the publicity surrounding it. Knowing soldiers, he&#8217;ll probably want to avoid any publicity if he can.&#8221;</p>
