D. P. Waterer was born on 23 July 1981 and initially served in Northern Ireland. His Staff Report from 2005 recalls:

'Has been a member of the Corps of Drums in a London District Light Battalion during a busy ceremonial period. He has recently been deployed on Op Oculus (Bosnia). Dmr Waterer has had a good year. Musically he has been one of the driving forces behind the B Flat Flute stand. He instructs as well as performing solos whilst on duties proving his leadership qualities. Unfortunately his fitness has suffered due to an ongoing injury, this stalled his chances of attending a JNCO cadre. He can be relied upon to carry out tasks unsupervised and is well turned out on nearly all occasions. In Bosnia he acted as a Team Commander on many occasions confirming he has the necessary qualities to be a L.Cpl. Dmr Waterer is a very popular member of the Platoon, he has a great sense of humour and mixes well with others.'

Sold together with copied Staff Report and 17 photographs.
