Eric Delaney Tyzack

 

 

 

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 reaonably 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.

2nd Lt 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].
