Pte. Sidney Charles Tyers 2/4 Btn. Leicestershire Rgt. (d.30th November 1917) Sidney Tyers died aged 22; he was the baby of the family, much loved of my grandmother and his mother was said to be broken hearted, never quite recovering. 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.
|
Dick Muggleton 2/4th Btn. Leicestershire Regiment (d.17th Apr 1918) My Grandmother told me she remembers the soldiers going off to war, Dick Muggleton was her uncle, although he wasn't much older, he never came back, I'm not sure which battle he was in but there's a plaque in the church at Lyddington bearing his name.
