The Hugin suggestion is a bit of overkill. All sorts of ways with Gimp and the
resize canvas is one way.

Even easier:

Open the two images as layers - It is better if the largest is opened first but
not necessary.

Click and drag either one of the layers into position. Outside the canvas it
shows as an outline, do not be fooled by that, it is ok.

Use Image menu -> Fit canvas to layers
