Oliver Richard Augustin

British Lieutenant Oliver Richard Augustin, age 23, was killed on May 27, 2011, by an Improvised Explosive Device while on patrol in the Loy Mandeh area of the Nad-e Ali district in Helmand province, Afghanistan.

He was with Juliet Company 42 Commando Royal Marines.

Pray for Oliver
The family of Lt Augustin mourned their “much-loved and cherished son” after he was killed while leading the patrol to clear an insurgents’ nest.  His parents Sean and Jane said in a statement: “He was a beautiful boy who we were very proud of. He had many friends that he loved and who loved him in return."

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