Rest in Peace sir.

We bow our heads in solemn silence as we bid farewell to Jim Glennie, who has passed away at the age of 100. One of the last living heroes of D-Day whose courage was forged in the fires of war and whose life became a lasting testament to sacrifice, resilience, and service.🕊️🇬🇧

At just 18 years old, Jim landed in Normandy with the Gordon Highlanders on D-Day, June 6, 1944, stepping into one of history's most brutal battles. Under relentless enemy fire, he pushed inland with unwavering determination. Only a week later, he was wounded, captured by German forces, and taken to Stalag IV-B, where he endured months of hunger, hardship, and the unimaginable suffering of life as a prisoner of war until freedom finally came in 1945.

Yet war never defined the man he became.

Returning home, Jim built a quiet life as a welder before dedicating three decades as a volunteer at the Gordon Highlanders Museum, ensuring the stories of his fallen comrades would never be forgotten. His portrait now hangs there—a fitting tribute to a soldier who carried history not only in his memories but in his unwavering commitment to remembrance.

On his 100th birthday, he was awarded the British Empire Medal, a nation’s heartfelt thank you to a man who had already given so much.

Today, Scotland has lost one of its last links to the beaches of Normandy. The world has lost another member of the Greatest Generation. But Jim Glennie's legacy will never fade. It lives on in every act of remembrance, every story shared, and every generation inspired by his extraordinary courage.

Rest peacefully, Jim Glennie.

Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for your service. And thank you for helping secure the freedom so many now take for granted.

We will remember you. Always.
