He attested for the Liverpool Scottish on 31 August 1914, and accompanied the original contingent to France aboard the Maidan in November 1914. He survived the charge at Hooge on 16 June 1915, before receiving his commission in the rank of Second Lieutenant in the 1/9th Battalion, Liverpool Regiment in January 1916, with whom he served until July 1917. Tyrer subsequently transferred to the Ministry of Munitions, also acting as instructor to the 2nd Wallasey Volunteer Battalion, before finally relinquishing his commission on 25 February 1919 due to ill health.
