jay dubaya Posted 1 April , 2007 Share Posted 1 April , 2007 Hi to all, 2nd Lieut Eric Delaney Tyzack RFC KiA 15/09/17 is on a memorial plaque that is hidden away under cover & at present out of view to the public eye. (the plaque also contains the names of 92 others who fell during the Great War) The only information I have on this chap is from SDGW & CWGC also that he was a Sheffielder. Any further information would be much appreciated, many thanks, cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted 1 April , 2007 Share Posted 1 April , 2007 Jon 2Lt E D Tyzack (formerly Royal Engineers) was killed in action on 15 September 1917 while flying Nieuport 17 B1672 of No 1 Sqn RFC. Oberleutnant Bruno Loerzer of Jasta 26 claimed a Nieuport over Westroosbeke at 1525; it was the 7th of his eventual 44 victories [though Above the Lines gives the date of this victory as 15 August]. I hope this helps Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay dubaya Posted 1 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 1 April , 2007 Thanks for that gents... A photo of the plaque was sent to me recently. The only clue to it's origin was the letters WIST Ltd, this has transpired into William Tyzack & Sons of Sheffield. I'm trying to find out if he was a son of one of the Tyzack brothers. There are several other Tyzacks listed on SDGW all from within the same district of Sheffield. welshdoc...I can't open the links probably a problem my end it is the day after the night before, Cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 1 April , 2007 Share Posted 1 April , 2007 The Gazette site seems to be broken at the moment. They usually give it a kick back into life on a Monday morning. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay dubaya Posted 2 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 2 April , 2007 That's fantastic Pam ...many thanks, it is the family that I'm looking for. I could see the Little London Works from my bedroom window when I was living in Sheffield. Great link, just what I needed to read... Frederick Tyzack died in 1923 and was succeeded as chairman by John Blunt. This may have been a direct result of the war. Before the war, Frederick's son, Eric D. Tyzack, was the company's Metallurgical Chemist, with his own new laboratory. One might reasonably have expected him to follow his father as chairman in the family firm. He however became a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps and was killed over Passchendaele. quoted from http://www.tilthammer.com/bio/tyzac.html Interestingly the link also included the name Wolstenholme... the plaque also has 2 Wolstenholmes B & S, S who I believe to be Pte. Selby Wolstenholme 2nd Sherwoods KiA 19/09/18. Can't find a B though, any ideas Many thanks to you all, cheers, Jon links working now welshdoc...I think it's probably best you don't put jam in it next time...

jay dubaya Posted 2 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 2 April , 2007 Brincliffe Crescent in (or on!) Brinclffe. Kath. Ooooooh...Kath's on the Edge Thanks again Pam, it's very much appreciated An apprentice indenture for one Alfred Wolstenholme as a Patent Scythe Maker was signed in 1854 quoted from http://www.tilthammer.com/bio/tyzac.html Not sure if Selby is related, perhaps a different branch of the Wolstenholme family....... cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
