Turriff’s Jim Glennie is one of the few surviving Scots who was on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day in June 1944. He’s now 98, but is unveiling a new exhibition at the Gordon Highlanders Museum in Aberdeen on Monday. We owe these men a great deal! #DDay80 #JimGlennie #GordonHighlandersMuseum #Turriff #NormandyLandings #PoppyScotland https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6483188/jim-glennie-surviving-d-day-veterans/

Dr Russ DennyNov 11, 2022

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.

(Laurence Binyon, 1914)
