Bryan was a pupil at King Edward VII school between 1932 and 1937. He joined the Post Office as a trainee engineer in 1940.

Bryan joined the RAF and trained as a “Bomb Aimer” In 1944 he was part of the crew of a Lancaster Bomber airplane and in turn a member of 514 Squadron.

On the night of the 1st May 1944 the squadron took off from RAF Waterbeach airfield which was 5 miles north of Cambridge. The target was a railway yard at Chambly a town about 50Km north of Paris. Of the 18 Lancasters that took off that night, only Green’s aircraft did not return, though others were damaged. The Lancaster was attacked as it was returning to base and all the crew were killed when it crashed.
