It is with great sadness that East Durham Veterans Trust announces the passing of Dominic on the 4th of December, after bravely battling brain cancer. Dominic was a beloved member of the community, cherished by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Dominic’s funeral will take place on Wednesday, 18th December at 14:30, at St Wilfred’s Church in Bishop Auckland. To honour his memory and service, East Durham Veterans Trust is calling for veterans to attend and form a fitting honour guard to give Dominic his final salute.
In preparation for the service, the Trust is also seeking assistance from the community. Specifically, they are in need of a Maroon beret and an RA cap badge for the ceremony, as well as a bugler to play a fitting tribute.
The Trust encourages all veterans, supporters, and members of the public who are able to attend or assist to get in touch. This is an opportunity to stand together, pay respects, and give a hero the farewell he so truly deserves.
For more information or to offer help, please contact East Durham Veterans Trust directly.
Lee Harris Said “A good friend of mine who I grew up with and served with in the same regiment, but please make it an RHA Cypher, and not a Royal Artillery cap badge as Dom served with 7RHA and 3RHA.
It makes a difference.”
Kyle Smith said “Served with dom 7 para RHA, I will be there with my maroon beret”
