Pte. Robert William Tyas MM.
British Army 12th Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment
from:Huddersfield
Pte. Charles William "Roger" Tye
British Army 2nd/3rd Northumbrian Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps
from:Hull, Yorkshire
Charles William Tye was my father, and was known to his friends and relations as Will, although for some reason that I am not clear about his army friends called him Roger. He had joined the TA in Hull in 1911 when he was 18. At the suggestion of his father (a member of the East Riding of Yorkshire TA), who thought it would be better to join a unit that would teach him something more useful than just learning to kill people, he chose the RAMC.
I believe all TA units were mobilized on August 1st 1914 and he was immediately posted to Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. From there he went to Boroughbridge in Yorkshire and then on to Morpeth in Northumberland. He was sent overseas in about 1916 in a hospital ship to join the army units fighting near Salonika in Greece. There was only one day of fighting there after he arrived when Bulgar shelling killed a mule in a nearby artillery(?) camp.
He remained in Greece for the rest of the war and after the armistice was sent on detached duties through Bulgaria and Romania. Throughout his time in Greece and the other countries he was mainly involved in treating cases of malaria and dysentery with very few wartime type injuries occurring. He returned home in mid-1919 after reaching a seaport on the Black Sea, travelling by ship to somewhere in the Adriatic. His memories of this journey included going through the Corinth Canal and then (I think) a train journey through Switzerland to England. He and his colleagues arrived back in Hull during the night and walked home from the station!
He died in 1961 from cancer at the age of 68 after serving in the Air Raid Precautions (later Civil Defence) First Aid Service in Hull during WW2. His luck held, and throughout the war there were no air raids on the nights he was on duty at the First Aid post! You will understand that this is my recollection from some 50 or 60 years ago and there may be errors in the facts listed.

Pte. Sidney Charles Tyers
British Army 2/4 Btn. Leicestershire Rgt.
from:Leicester
(d.30th November 1917)

He was sent to Dublin as part of the force putting down the Easter uprising in 1916; he sent home a postcard, commenting that Dublin was full of rubble, something of an understatement.
He died at Cambrai, on the day of the major German counter-offensive, when British losses were very high. He has no grave, his body was never found and his name is recorded only on the Cambrai memorial.

Pte. Edward Tynan
British Army 8th Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers
from:Johnstown, Co Kilkenny
Edward Tynan was buried alive by a collapsed trench after a German shell exploded close by in October 1917. He was rescued by his fellow soldiers after wisps of smoke were seen drifting up from the area where the trench collapsed. Edward was able to move around slightly under the earth. A piece of timber had protected his head and body so he was able to light his pipe. Probably thinking I might as well have a last smoke before I die. The pipe smoke attracted his buddy's and they eventually were able to release him from his near death experience. Edward would receive an honourable discharge in June 1918 after being found unfit for further military service due to sickness. This was caused by a German gas attack.

Pte. Samuel Tyndall
British Army Royal Irish Rifles
I am researching a friend's family and we came across a WW1 medal card for a family member Samuel Tyndall. The card is marked KIA with no date. I have searched CWGC Debt of Honour, trying out variations of spelling all to no avail. An expert friend of mine says this is almost unheard so I am exploring all possibilities.
Editors Note:
Due to the vast numbers lost in the Great War and the loss of paper records in the 1940 Blitz, there do remain a few who are still not recorded by the CWGC. If you visit their website, there is a procedure where by you can submit evidence of Samuel's death with a request that he be added to their records.
Maj. M. A. Tynte
