--Excerpts from the Belfast Telegraph, Dec. 4, 2010:
Hundreds gathered in the tiny village of Macosquin, Co Londonderry, Northern Ireland, for his funeral and burial with full military honours.
Church of Ireland minister the Rev Mike Roemmele told mourners at St Mary's parish church: "In every aspect of his military life he was a pioneer who cleared the way that others might follow him." He added that the soldier's mottos were "clear the way" and "judge us by our deeds".
Ranger McCormick's close relatives - his mother Maggie, father Leslie, brother Michael, sisters Tammy and Callie-Ann, and girlfriend Beckie - led mourners. Four of his friends paid special tribute to him in the church and introduced songs which reflected his courageous character.
Regimental colleagues from Malawi, South Africa, the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland joined mourners.
Mr Roemmele added: "Aaron was a credit to the British Army, to the nation, to Northern Ireland, Coleraine, his school and this village where he spent his childhood and adolescence and where many of his friends still live."
A street collection in his memory raised more than £1,500 for the Royal Irish benevolent fund, money which will be used to benefit serving and former members of the regimental family and their dependants in times of need.
