| | From the Irish Rifles, Tidmarsh transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in 1916, serving with 24 Squadron under Lanoe Hawker. On 21 April 1916, he narrowly escaped death when an unexploded antiaircraft shell passed through the cockpit of his D.H.2. With the formation of 48 Squadron in 1917, Tidmarsh became a flight commander in the first squadron to fly the Bristol Fighter in combat. Shortly after downing two Albatros D.III aircraft, Tidmarsh was killed when he was shot down by Kurt Wolff of Jasta 11. |
