W.G. Evans - J. White


L/Cpl William George Evans William was born in Tenby, and also resided there when he enlisted into the army. He was posted to the 5th Bn, King's Liverpool Rgt, which had been in France since 22/02/1915, attached to 6th Brigade, 2nd Division. William probably joined the bn in 1917, and would have fought at the Battle of Cambrai, where the Division was decimated during the German counter-attacks. In 1918 the Division moved to Festubert, and in April met with the ferocious onslaught of the German Offensive in Flanders. After the Battle of Estaires, the Division had made a stand that was to become famous, gaining the respect of even the German High Command. After a hard campaign in Flanders, the tide turned in favour of the Allies, and the Division took part in the final advance in Flanders. William was killed in action during this epic push.
