He went west to Minneapolis after second year of high school and learened the electrotyping trade with George R. Hodeen Electrotyping. In 1913, he came to Rochester, N. Y. and took a clerkship in wholesale grocery but found it too confining for his health. Then had a job with NY State Railways. April 6, 1917, enlisted in the 3rd Regiment and ordered to Pelham Bay Park. In October, this regiment merged with another and was made 108th Regiment of the U.S. Army. Then went to Camp Wadsworth at Spartansburg, So. Carolina. On 1 May 1918, went to Newport News and sailed for France, landing at Brest 23 May, 1918.

He had a 20 day sick leave in his pocket and a useless left arm Adjutant said "change is too great from the hospital to the firing line." 2nd Lieut. Getman reported "My men need me." Left with his men to go north from St. Pierrepont. Trail was was obstructed by broken trees so men had to go single file. They reached a swamp about noon when the Germans struck dropping gas shells in the swamp. The 3rd Battalion went north and the 2nd Battalion went south. About 5 o'clock, a halt was called. Some heavy shells fell among the men, a splinter of one wounding Lieut. Getman in the side. Eleven other men were wounded. When Dr. Pope came to dress the wound, the officer said "my men first". So Dr. Pope informed the officer's mother in a letter. "The officer's wounds bled copiously and he became unconscious after his wound was dressed." The wounded were taken to a field hospital near St. Pierrepont where Lieut. Getman died 7 Nov. 1918
