My grand uncle, Richard Hetherington, was born 1st May 1886 to Patrick and Anne(nee Farrell) Hetherington in a small village in the Irish Midlands called Mountrath. Which at that time was known as Queens County and is now County Laois. He joined the army before WW1 and was on leave when he was called back to duty. He was 28 years when he died 18th September 1914. He is remembered with other fallen soldiers who have no graves on the La Ferte-Sous-Jouarre Memorial.
