Hordern Richards landed in France in May 1916. In August he was wounded in action in France and hospitalised, returning to his unit in September. In December he developed trench feet and was treated in England. He returned to France in March 1917. In Belgium he was reported ‘wounded and missing’ after an attack on 4 October at Ypres. Six months later a Court of Enquiry concluded he had been killed in action.
