Sydney was serving on board HMS President, a Flower class corvette, which was used by the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve for training purposes and was moored on the Thames in London.
He contracted pneumonia and died in a London naval hospital. As he had met his death in England, his body was returned to Harrogate, where it would have been buried with full military honours.
