Memorial erected by grandnephew of Richard Keogh, whose relatives were unable to afford one when he died in 1945
Simon Keogh with a newly erected headstone on the grave of his granduncle Richard Keogh in Grangegorman Military Cemetery in Dublin.
He survived the war unscathed but his brother James, who joined the Irish Guards, was killed by a trench motor bomb in France in February 1918. However, his grandnephew Simon Kehoe, a grandson of James Keogh, has now remedied that omission almost 80 years later. He commissioned a headstone which was unveiled on Friday.
