[9] Post-military career [ edit ] Chris was born in Rowlands Gill, which is a small village on the north bank of the River Derwent. It has a population of around 6,000 and is around nine miles from the major city of Newcastle in the North of England. Very little is known of Chris's early life - little about his school days, little about his hobbies, little about his family life.
