Father of two, 32-year-old Stéphane Duval was a member of 1er RPIMa. The latter is one of Europe's most experienced SOF regiments, and is a descendant of the British SAS from WW2. He was the sixth French soldier to have died fighting Islamists in Mali, but also the first SOF casualty. His vehicle hit an IED earlier today, killing him and wounding two other soldiers.
RIP.
