"HETTERLEY, Sister Helen, daughter of Mr & Mrs George Hetterley of 31 Penn Street, Oakham was born May 4th 1891. Two years before the war she became hospital nurse, and when the war began was stationed at the Military Hospital, Canterbury. In the execution of her duties she contracted tuberculosis and was sent by the Rutland County Council to the Devon & Didsworthy Sanatorium. Unfortunately the disease had obtained too great hold, and after three months, it was clear that nothing could save her. She, therefore returned home, where she died May 30th 1917 and was buried in Oakham Cemetery. Age 30." Rutland & the Great War (published 1920) I can supply a photo of her grave in Oakham Cemetery
