In 1943, Colonel Ryan held the position of Deputy Director Military Intelligence, Paiforce, under the direction of General Arthur Selby, and was in charge of Prime Minster Winston Churchill's security arrangements for his visit to Tehran, Iran to participate in the meeting known as The Tehran Conference. During World War II (WWII), Colonel Ryan was awarded both Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) and the U.S. Legion of Merit. In 1949, he was promoted to the substantive rank of Major and granted the honorary rank of Full Colonel in the Intelligence Corps. While Ryan appears to have entered civilian life soon after the end of WWII, becoming the Cairo-based representative of the Society of British Aircraft Constructors in late 1945, he officially retired as an Intelligence Corps. reserve officer in 1956.","The Tehran Conference, code-named \"Eureka\" during the planning stages, was the first in-person meeting between the \"Big Three\" leaders of the Allied Powers during WWII: U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. The meeting took place in Tehran, Iran between November 28 – December 1, 1943. The main focus of the meeting was coordination of military strategy against Germany and Japan, particularly the opening of a \"second front\" in western Europe, the launch of \"Operation Overlord\" by British and American forces into Northern France (which was subsequently executed in May 1944), and agreement that the Soviet Union would declare war against Japan following the Allied victory over Germany (with concessions from Roosevelt regarding Soviet ownership of islands and ports that would be finalized at the Yalta Conference in 1945). The meeting also saw discussions of long-range political planning for the post WWII era, including revision of Poland's eastern border (which was ratified at the Potsdam Conference in 1945), negotiations about the status of the Republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia in regard to the Soviet Union, the composition of the future United Nations, the possible postwar partition of Germany, and a declaration guaranteeing the postwar independence and territorial integrity of the conference's host country of Iran.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in March 2026.

While Ryan appears to have entered civilian life soon after the end of WWII, becoming the Cairo-based representative of the Society of British Aircraft Constructors in late 1945, he officially retired as an Intelligence Corps. reserve officer in 1956.","The Tehran Conference, code-named \"Eureka\" during the planning stages, was the first in-person meeting between the \"Big Three\" leaders of the Allied Powers during WWII: U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. The meeting took place in Tehran, Iran between November 28 – December 1, 1943. The main focus of the meeting was coordination of military strategy against Germany and Japan, particularly the opening of a \"second front\" in western Europe, the launch of \"Operation Overlord\" by British and American forces into Northern France (which was subsequently executed in May 1944), and agreement that the Soviet Union would declare war against Japan following the Allied victory over Germany (with concessions from Roosevelt regarding Soviet ownership of islands and ports that would be finalized at the Yalta Conference in 1945). The meeting also saw discussions of long-range political planning for the post WWII era, including revision of Poland's eastern border (which was ratified at the Potsdam Conference in 1945), negotiations about the status of the Republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia in regard to the Soviet Union, the composition of the future United Nations, the possible postwar partition of Germany, and a declaration guaranteeing the postwar independence and territorial integrity of the conference's host country of Iran."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\"We Were Not Shadows\" by Colonel E.P.J.
