As a temporary lieutenant-colonel, Byron was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in August 1944, for heroism during Operation Overlord.[9] He was promoted to the substantive rank of lieutenant-colonel on 1 August 1945,[10] and retired from active service on 27 August 1947.[11] Family lifeByron married Margaret Mary Steuart in 1926, but they were divorced in 1946, and later that same year, he married Dorigen Margaret Esdaile, and had two sons by her:
