Richard was born in Dolgellau, Merionethshire, the son of Mr and Mrs O D Roberts, Clogwyn.
Very little seems to be recorded about Richard's life.
He enlisted in the Denbighshire Hussars and gained rapid promotion. In 1917 he was commissioned into the Cumberland & Westmorland Yeomanry.
In January 1918 he was at the family home in Anglesey recuperating from wounds. He died on the 13th suddenly and unexpectedly from a suspected heart attack.
Richard is buried in Llanedwen Parish Churchyard, Anglesey. He is commemorated on the War Memorial in Dolgellau.
We will remember him.
