Terence Adrian Spencer Tryon was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the West Yorkshire Regiment from the Army Cadet Forces on 2 June 1940, and was promoted War Substantive Lieutenant under the African Colonial Forces Section on 12 December 1941. Based on his Africa and Burma Stars is is possible that he was seconded to the Royal West African Frontier Force, which served in Italian Somaliland, Abyssinia, and Burma. He was advanced Captain in December 1948, and to Major in June 1953, and served in Kenya as Temporary District Officer (Screening) Nanyuki District, Central Province from October 1954. He relinquished his commission in November 1957.

The West Yorkshire Regiment did not serve as a unit in Kenya, and consequently it is believed that this is a Regimentally unique group of medals.
