He was 21 years of age, at the time of his death. From hisenrolment as a cadet, he had taken an interest in military affairs, and had been gazetted a lieutenant in the 78th Infantry, Goodwood. He enlisted as a private for service abroad in October, 1915, and sailed with reinforcements for the 10th Battalion on December 2, 1915, holding the rank of sergeant. After about five months' service in Egypt he sailed as a private for France, where he saw much active service, being in the Pozieres push.

There has never been a boy of St. George's more respected and loved as a devoted adherent of all that St. George's stands for. We feel most deep sorrow at his loss." Lance-Corporal Evans entered the employ of Messrs. Norman & Co., Bank street, in 1910, and held a responsible position at the time of his enlistment.
