Hervé Guinaud

French Master Cpl Hervé Guinaud, age 42, was killed on January 8, 2011, in southern Kapisa, north-eastern Afghanistan when his armored vehicle was hit by an explosion. 

Master Corporal Guinaud had arrived in Afghanistan last December. In 22 years of service, he also participated in numerous missions in Djibouti, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire.

Married and father of a child, Master Corporal Guinaud is the 53rd French soldier killed in Afghanistan since the deployment of French forces in late 2001. Military authorities described him as "remarkable and exemplary". 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Hervé Guinaud is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
