Leonard Charles Ernest Dyer was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, on 1 September 1879, and enlisted into the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry at Hereford on 1 November 1897, aged 18 years 2 months, a cabinet maker by trade. He transferred to the 2nd Battalion, South Wales Borderers on 15 February 1898, and served in South Africa from 13 January 1900 to 25 April 1902, and was posted to the 1st Battalion, serving in India, on the following day. He transferred to the Indian Unattached List (Supply and Transport Corps) for employment as a Sergeant in July 1905, and was promoted Sergeant and Staff Sergeant in July 1906. He served on the Mekran Expedition in the Persian Gulf in April and May 1911, and afterwards was apparently involved in the Delhi Durbar - whist his name does not appear on the published rolls for this medal, his entitlement is clearly stated several times in his service papers. He served in Aden and India until March 1916, when he joined Force “D” in Mesopotamia, remaining there until April 1921, having seen service in Iraq and North West Persia during the Arab Rebellion of 1920-21. He was promoted to Sub-Conductor in July 1920 and received further promotions to Conductor in March 1926, to Lieutenant (Assistant Commissary) in June 1930, and to Captain (Deputy Commissary) in June 1933. He served in India from April 1921 until January 1934, including operations on the North West Frontier in 1930-31. Captain Dyer retired on 31 August 1934.
