Recognizing London’s Service Men and Women through “Streets of Honour” The Streets of Honour program was created in 1989 to pay tribute to outstanding service people from various backgrounds. Naming a city street to memorialize their efforts is intended to promote awareness of the individual and express appreciation for their special contributions. These streets are identified by a ‘poppy’ symbol for Armed Forces individuals and a City of London ‘tree’ symbol for other honourees. These symbols appear on the City’s interactive map in front of the street name for easy reference. Go to the City of London’s map directory at www.maps.london.ca and click on ‘Streets of Honour’ to see more. Here is a list of the streets that were honoured in the Byron area; Brayford Crescent was named in honour and remembrance of Warrant Officer 1st Class Navigator Lloyd Willis Brayford, Royal Canadian Air Force, World War II, who died on February 11, 1943 at the age of 24 in the line of duty.
Tyson Walk was named in honour and remembrance of Sergeant Stanley John Tyson, Royal Canadian Air Force, World War II, who died on May 29, 1941 at the age of 20 in the line of duty.
