Some 78 years after their initial meeting, the pair met in France where Mr Pye showed her the picture he kept, and gave her another jam sandwich
"Nice to see you again after such a long time. We got older but we're still the same," Mr Pye said when meeting Huguette.Image:"The memory of my very brief encounter with this young girl will stay with me forever," Mr Pye added.
"In the bleakest of times this bit of human interaction made a huge mark on my life, I have carried her picture in my wallet for 78 years always hoping we might meet again." The reunion was made possible after Paul Cook, a volunteer from Taxi Charity for Military Veterans, started a social media campaign after hearing the story.
"There are no words to describe how elated I am that Reg has found Huguette, this is like a Hollywood blockbuster and I wouldn't be surprised if this beautiful story was made into a film," Mr Cook said.
