About 19 Tyrell Street

A simple weatherboard home, Tyrone, on this block was one of the earliest constructed in the street and occupied from 1912 by John and Lucy Elliot and their three boys: twins Jack James and Sidney Johnson, and younger brother Lance William.

All three sons enlisted in First World War in 1916 and 1917. They served in Egypt and France. Sid was wounded twice and the others contracted malaria but all returned safely to Gladesville.

No trace of this house remains but the boys’ service is remembered.
