Reg’s interest in WWII started when he was just a boy. Always fascinated by seeing WWII footage of the D-Day landings, parachutes over the Netherlands and the snow-covered foxholes in the Ardennes .

Reg’s grandfather was a veteran.He was wounded on 10 June 1940 in France, fighting with the Belgian Army.The passing of his grandfather became a turning point in Reg’s life as he realized that freedom didn’t come for free and that historical knowledge should be preserved and passed on.
Over the past 17 years Reg intensively studied,researched and explored the battlefields in Bastogne and the Ardennes . He is a researcher who collects information,pieces of the giant puzzle,investigates and fits them together ….,this to archive WWII History,to pass on history to the next generations and to preserve the legacy of the finest young men who paid the highest price for our freedom.

Div.,28th Inf. Div., 87thInf. Div., 4th,9th,10th Armored Divisions but he also specialized in following the trail of Joachim Peiper.
