Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whanau a Ryan ki Rowlands Gill i County Durham. Whai muri i tana haere ki te Kura o Hookergate, ka uru ia ki te Ope Taua o Ingarangi i te 16 o ona tau. Ko te whanaunga o Ryan he mema no te 23 o nga SAS Regiment, a, i tono ia ki a Ryan kia haere mai ki runga, kia "tirohia he aha te ahua o te mahi i roto i te ope taua". I mahi a Ryan i tenei tata ki nga wiki katoa, tata ana ki te haere i te whiringa i etahi wa, engari he tamariki rawa ia ki te haere tonu me te mahi 'wiki whakamatautau'. I te wa e pakeke ana ia, ka haere ia ki te 23 SAS. I muri tata mai i tera ka tiimata tana kowhiringa mo te 22 SAS Regiment auau ka uru atu ki te 'B' Squadron hei kaiawhina. I te hiahia ki tetahi roopu matua, ko Ryan me tetahi hoia i uru atu ki te 22 SAS mai i te Royal Navy, e waru wiki i noho ki te Parachute Regiment i mua i te hokinga ki te 'B' Squadron. I pau i a ia ngā tau e whitu e whai ake nei e whakahaere ana i ngā mahi huna, i ngā mahi tūmataiti hoki ki te SAS huri noa i te ao. Ko tētahi o aua tauira ko te whakangungu o
Ko ngā mema o Khmer Rouge ki te whawhai ki te Vietnamese i Āhia ki te Tonga i te tekau tau 1980.
