Distinguished and Famous people from Gingin
🌟 Jim Gordon VC
Jim Gordon grew up on his family’s Gingin property from 1917 and attended local schools. Before military service he worked as a drover, farm worker and goldfields battery worker. During the Second World War he received the Victoria Cross for his actions near Jezzine in Lebanon in July 1941. Gingin honoured him with a plaque in 1942. The Australian Dictionary of Biography describes a quiet man who sometimes tucked his VC ribbon into his pocket after ceremonies: a notably modest response to one of the highest military honours.
