Brothers meet during wartime

Its amazing how things just crop up when you are researching family history, during a chat about something totally different it was mentioned that my granddad, James, had managed to meet up in India with his brother, Herbert, during the war whilst both in different forces and low and behold a random search a few days later found the front page of the local paper from May 20 1944 which made mention of the very event!
James and Herbert Wankling meet in India after not seeing each other for 2 years
So from a story I had never heard to finding proof in print within 3 days, if only everything in family history was this easy to prove.
