Karl Bowen


Ex-Welsh Guard Karl Bowen, age 30, was killed on 14 September, 2010, in Afghanistan.

He had been working in the Kirkuk region of the country providing close protection for a private security firm. He was not in the military at the time of his death.  He had spent about nine years in the Welsh Guards, serving in Afghanistan, Iraq and Bosnia.  His mother said that he returned to Iraq after a spell in civilian jobs, because he wanted to return to work with former army colleagues.

Karl Bowen had two daughters but was separated from his former wife, and was living with his girlfriend. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Karl Bowen is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
