Daily Express
|February 20, 2025
D-DAY hero Reginald Pye, who cleared mines during the Normandy landings and struck up a remarkable 78-year friendship by giving away his rations has died aged of 101.
 
 Royal Engineer Reggie served with the 224 Field Company, landing on Sword Beach as a driver, carrying sappers, mines and ammunition.
One night as he moved through occupied France, his convoy was held up in Virgny.
Dream
It was there he spotted a 14-year-old girl staring at him while he ate his evening meal a slice of bread and jam and a tin of pilchards.
The 21-year-old soldier offered her his food but she ran away with just the bread and jam in her hands.
The following morning she returned to half fill his mess tin with milk, leaving a handwritten note on the back of a picture of herself.
