DUMFRIES & MAXWELLTOWN

 Ian Domingo

 

Ian Domingo sadly passed away peacefully in Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary on 1 April 2024. He grew up in Hawick and at the age of 19, in October 1967, he enlisted in the Army. Ian joined The King’s Own Scottish Borderers, which was his father and grandfather’s regiment. He saw service in several tours of Northern Ireland, where he was mentioned in despatches, as well as in Berlin, Sharjah and Belize.

Ian played rugby with Hawick Harlequins and also represented the battalion on many occasions. He left 1 KOSB in Colchester to become Regimental Sergeant Major with the 3^rd Battalion of the 51^st Highland Volunteers in Stirling, which saw him through his final two years with the colours.

He joined the Dumfries and Maxwelltown branch and commanded both the Armed Forces Day parade and Remembrance Day parade, his last parade being Armistice 2023.

Our condolences go out to Ian’s wife Ann and other family members; he is a man who will never be forgotten.
