Original Message 97 Year-Old World War II Veteran Reunited With Girlfriend He Fell In Love With 75 Years Ago, But Lost After He Was Sent Away To Battle

"A Second World War American veteran has reunited with his long lost French sweetheart 75 years after they first met in her hometown.

"KT Robbins, 97, first met 18-year-old Jeannine Pierson (formerly Ganaye) after asking her mother to help him with his washing while he was stationed in Briey in 1944.

"The then-24-year-old fell passionately in love with Jeannine, now 92, although they were torn apart when Robbins was sent to the Eastern Front.

"Jeannine said she wept when Robbins left and even learnt some basic English in the hope that he would return, but the veteran moved back to America after the war.

"But Robbins never forgot about his sweetheart and held onto her picture for 75 years."
