Biography
In contrast to John, Chris did not want to be a soldier like their father.

In 1944, while the two boys were playing in the woods outside Bolton during a picnic with their parents, and George was looking after baby Charlotte at home, (PROSE: Wartime) Chris climbed onto the high wall of a ruined tower, but lost his footing and fell to his death. John tried to save him, but failed and blamed himself for his brother's death.

In the 1970s, while transporting by Land Rover a shipment of radioactive material near Bolton, Benton found himself in a nightmare world where past and present were one. He confronted Chris's ghost, as well as those of their father and mother, until he freed himself from his guilt and returned to reality. (HOMEVID: Wartime)
