Touching moment WWII veteran is reunited with his long-lost love

K.T Robbins was an American soldier stationed in north eastern France during WWII.

He kept a photo of a woman he fell in love with at the time, Jeannine Ganaye, for 75 years.

He was returning to France ahead of the D-Day commemorations and he had just one wish.

He wanted to meet Jeannine’s family, assuming that his long-lost love had passed away.

He said: “I’d like to go and see if I can find her family. For sure I won’t ever get to see her. She’s probably gone now.”
