We were all very sad that yet again we lost another of our beloved D-Day veterans. Our friend Jim Wilkinson of the 15th Scottish Regiment passed away in early June. He landed on Sword Beach and took part in horrendous battles across Normandy. He went in with 250 men in his group and he was one of only 8 who survived. Jim had always led a very active life, took part in many trips, collections and anything else he could take part in. He would often be seen helping out his neighbours cutting their grass as well as up ladders repairing gutters etc on his 2 story house. Amazing for an elderly 88 year old. He just didn't stop, but then he suddenly came down with cancer of the stomach, became wheelchair bound and within months was gone. See his story in the Members Profiles section.
God Bless you Jim and thank you!
