"She was staring at me and I thought what is she staring at. I looked down and it was the bread. So I offered her the bread."It was a sweet reunion for Reg and Huguette as they recreated their meeting from 1944Reg was part of a engineering regiment that built temporary infrastructure and helped clear German mines
It is not just the black and white photograph of Huguette outside a French presbytery that has remained close to Reg all this time, it was the hope of one day tracking down her down. This time, with the help of veterans charity Taxi, Reg could once again share his jam sandwich with Huguette, now a mum of three."I've had this for 78 years," Reg said, handing her the faded old photo.
