John Davies (left) and brother Chris AN ARMY veteran who lost his brother in active service in Afghanistan has begun a mountainous challenge in his memory. Chris Davies, aged 22 and from Dentons Green, was shot dead when troops came under fire from the Taliban in Helmand Province on November 17, 2010. Following his death in 2010, the family described the former De La Salle pupil as a cracking lad. His commanding officer in the Irish Guards said he was a truly good and valued man. The Steve Prescott Bridge was lit red and blue, the colours of Chris regiment, in his honour in November to mark the 10th anniversary of his passing.
