British soldier Christopher Davies, age 22, a father of one from St Helens, served alongside his 21-year-old brother, John, in 1st Battalion Irish Guards. He died after being shot in an ambush on November 17, 2010, in the Nahr-e-Saraj district of Helmand province, Afghanistan.
His friends and family spoke of him as a "real joker" with an "invincible personality" who was focused on his job in the army. In a statement, his family said: "Christopher had always wanted to be in the army ever since he was at school. He really enjoyed computer games and karaoke evenings with his cousins and friends. He was a loving son to Catherine and Gary; stepson to Nick; brother to Bernie, Matt and John; stepbrother to Mark, Emma and Jack; loving boyfriend to Emma; and father to Lucy.
"We are very proud of Christopher and all that he achieved. One of the last things that he told us was that he wanted to specialise within the army – he was very focused on his job and enjoyed the work, his comrades and the lifestyle." Military officials said: "Guardsman Christopher Davies had been in the Micks for less than two years, but in a short space of time he forged a legendary reputation."
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Christopher Davies is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
