It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our founder, brother and friend, Cpl Derek Johnson (Johno) 2RRF, he had the idea and vision of a North West Veterans Corps of Drums and with the assistance of veterans from all services achieved his dream.

"Johno" was one of the nicest guys you could meet. Loved by those whose paths he crossed, he left his mark on us all. He put his heart and soul into everything he believed in. He will be greatly missed.

Please help us to assist his family in giving him his final parade.
