Killed in action 26th April 1918 AGE: 19
Christopher was the son of Albert & Elizabeth Jane Prickett of Mathern. He was born in Mounton and enlisted in Chepstow.
He was serving in France with the 12th Manchester Regiment which was also known as The Duke of Lancasters Own Yeomanry Battalion owing to an amalgamation of two battalions at the end of 1917. He was killed just as the final major German assault of the Great War was grinding to a halt against the Allies holding out along the Somme front.
Christopher was buried in the extension to the Forceville Communal Cemetery near Albert in Northern France, just west of the line where the German advance was held. He would have been awarded the War and Victory medals.
