Hi everyone, and Happy New Year.

I would like help identifying the Sgt. TYLER who appeared in a c’1918 British Pathé film arriving home to his family in Lambeth, London.

The family member who sent me the link believes that this man might be an ancestor and that the address might be in Ethelred Street, although the film provides no clues other than ‘Lambeth’ and ‘Sergeant TYLER’.

The film does provide a close-up of Sgt. TYLER with cap-badge so I hope someone might be able to identify his regiment. And there is an emblem above his sergeant’s stripes that might be a battle or company badge.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

ADDENDUM: It is possible to view the film as stills, and then zoom them, and I now wonder if the emblem above his stripes might be for a colour-sergeant or staff-sergeant.

Hi, I'm on my phone at the moment but it looks to be the Middlesex Regiment.
(Duke of Cambridge's own)?

I'm sure someone will progress the search by the time I can get to my laptop, if not then I will carry on when I return home :)

I don't know if this helps but the pub at the beginning is called the 'George' at 169, it seems to be part of the Lambeth Walk.

Great video!

On this link if you go to the comments at the bottom, someone has written 'George' was in the part of demolished Ethelred.

An Albert Walter Tyler was living at 67 Ethelred street Lambeth in the census before the war.

Nothing obvious in the service records (yet!).  Not sure about Middlesex Regiment though, there is no scroll beneath the circular bit (technical expression) on his badge.

Also don't think the badge above his stripes is a S Sgts crown.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

That was my original thought, but wondered if it was the way the "still" was showing it  :-\
