​It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death on Saturday 23rd October 2021, peacefully at the Florence Nightingale Hospital, Derby, after a long illness of ex PC 184 Donald William BATTERHAM, 82 years.  His next of kin is his wife, Mrs Linda aka Lyn Batterham.
Don as he was known retired in 1984 whilst in the Dog Section, where he served 21 years.  Prior to that he served in Buxton and Chesterfield.  Members will remember his dogs Rock (2) and Basil.

The funeral has not been arranged but will be a private family service as per his wishes.
​Sean Murphy (Secretary)

I am so sorry to hear of Dons death. I met him whilst researching my family history. My Grandad was a Batterham and we discovered that we had an ancestor in common. I met him and his wife Lyn and they were both very hospitable and welcoming. I kept in touch for a while but due to illness and family problems I lost contact. Today I was talking with my cousin and I mentioned Don to her. Later I googled certain Batterham family members including Don and this is how I found out he had died. I am shocked and saddened and wish that we had kept in touch.
God Bless Uncle Don and Rest in peace. Love to Lyn
