George Evans was my grandmother Annie May's brother, the son of Hannah and John (Jack) Evans of 33 Teneriffe Street in Lower Broughton, Salford. He joined up in August 1914 and served in Ireland for almost a year before going to Gallipoli landing at Sulva Bay. He was wounded at Chocolate Hill in October 1915. After treatment he then went to France and saw action at St Eloi, Arras, Vimy Ridge, the Somme and the Ancre.

After a period of leave with his family who he was reluctant to leave his last action was in Passchendaele where he was killed on 10th November 1917. He has no known grave but is remembered with honour on the Tyne Cot Memorial
