London Gazette 6 January 1944. Recommendation states: ‘During his three years service with the British Military Mission to the Egyptian Army, C.S.M. Ryal has shown outstanding zeal and devotion to duty. His work throughout has been characterised by great keenness, efficiency, smartness and reliability. Through the exercise of unbounded tact and ability he has rendered exceptional service in fostering good relations between Egyptians, both military and civil, and their British colleagues, and has done much towards instilling confidence in British intentions. In addition to his military duties, he has rendered, under the direction of the Embassy immeasurable service in the political sphere. He has toured the whole area round Asuit constantly and has, to all practical purposes, transformed a potential Anti-British group of towns and villages into a peaceful area in which British ideas are accepted with confidence. He is in my opinion worthy of the award for which he is recommended both for his military and his civil services which are of outstanding merit.’ Company Sergeant Major Patrick Thomas Benson-Ryal, B.E.M., enlisted into the Queen’s Own Royal West Kent Regiment in 1928 at the age of nineteen.

During the whole of this time he has been employed on civil security duties. He has always been very hard working, intelligent, honest and of sober habits. A very smart clean trustworthy N.C.O. who has a wide knowledge of Egyptian affairs. He also has a working knowledge of Arabic, police and customs, popular with everyone he has come into contact, and has done sterling work in the Middle East.’ Benson Ryal was appointed a Second Lieutenant in the Territorial Army in 1961 and in the Essex Cadet Regiment in 1963.
