1st January 1979 - 9th April 2002

Lance Corporal Darren John George died in Afghanistan on 9 April, 2002, aged 22.

He was part of the Essex-based Royal Anglian Regiment and served with the International Security Assistance Force in Kabul.

PrivateGeorge, who was married to Sarah, with whom he had a child, lived in Pirbright in Surrey.

He was serving in the Afghan capital when he was hit by a ricocheting bullet during a security patrol.

He later died as he was flown from Afghanistan to Oman for treatment.

A full enquiry and inquest was carried out to establish the circumstances surrounding his death. It emerged that hostile action was not a factor.

    ‘‘Thoughts & prayers we share with you soldier, your families, your friends left behind. We know you have not gone forever, just gone before us. We will meet again.
    GOD BLESS YOU - THANK YOU - REST IN PEACE .

    For Our Deceased Service Men and Women
    You are all-powerful, God, and live forever in light and joy. Look with pity and love, we beg You, on those men and women who bravely fought and gallantly died for their country. By laying down their lives, they showed supreme love for others. Accept, we ask You, their sacrifice and their belief in the justice of the cause they died for. Let their offering not be in vain. Please forgive any sins and faults they may have committed. Speedily, we implore You, bring them into Your Presence where fear, sadness, mourning, and death cannot exist. Have pity in Your loving kindness on those they leave behind. In Your own unsearchable ways, make good for their absence, and lavishly bestow Your love and consolations on those deprived of their presence. This we ask in the Name of Christ, our Victor King. Amen.

  • Hmm what to say...

    Hmm what to say about my big brother.. he was the best person anyone could ever want to meet, And he was the best big brother i could have asked for. I remember when i used to get bullied u always told me it was because they were idiots and i would prove them all wrong:) but one day you came to my school and scared them all and put me on your shoulders i felt like nothing could touch me.

    I hope i have made you proud bro but even though you are gone i bet your feet still smell

    miss you everyday lots of love your little sis:)
