Lieutenant Keyser, R.F.C. died in a flying accident on 22 August 1917. He was flying solo, piloting an RE8 aircraft of No. 42 Training Squadron based at Harlow. During the flight the aircraft was seen to lose height then go into a spinning nose dive. He was able to pull out of the dive but his machine stalled as he was attempting to manœuvre to avoid both trees and workers in a field. The aeroplane then crashed. Keyser, fatally injured, died of a fractured skull later the same day. He was buried in Heston Churchyard, Middlesex and his name is recorded in the R.A.F. Book of Remembrance in St, Clement Danes Church in the Strand.
