Jim, 99, 'deserves recognition for his wartime sacrifices'
Hull Daily Mail
|May 10, 2025
A BRAVE war veteran whose regiment was one of the first to cross the German lines on VE Day 80 years ago has been presented with a regimental cap in honour of his service during the Second World War.
James Gettings, known as Jim, will be turning 100 years old in November. Sadly, he had no mementos from his service, so he was delighted to receive a Royal Marine beret and cap badge from the Royal British Legion in Hessle Square on Thursday, May 8.
Jim was born in Springman Street, Hessle Road, in 1925 and, as a child, won a scholarship to Boulevard Grammar School. During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Marine Corps.
