- Guy Alfred Wyon (15 October 1883 – 2 March 1924) MD, BSc. was an English pathologist, researcher and lecturer, focusing mainly on bacterial growth and producing papers on the subject. Before the First World War he was a house physician and surgeon. During the war he was seconded to the Medical Research Council and took an active part in the three-man team which discovered the mode of entry of potentially-lethal TNT poisoning into the human system in British shell factories, and used that knowledge to implement a method of prevention of further deaths. In 1917 he served in a Casualty Clearing Station in France, and following the Armistice he was in control of a mobile laboratory in the Meuse Valley. After the war he became a demonstrator and then a lecturer at Leeds University, England, while continuing research. Wyon was related to the Wyon family of sculptors and engravers associated with the Royal Mint. He married organist Emma Mildred "Ruby" Hitchcock, the daughter of a miller, and they had three sons, of whom one was a medical missionary. Wyon died in Leeds at age 40 of influenza and pneumonia.
