261679 L/Cpl. William George Evans British Army 1st/5th Btn. Kings Regiment (Liverpool) from:Pembroke (d.21st Oct 1918) William Evans was an uncle I never knew existed until details of his death were located in the home of my auntie and found in a metal box in the bottom of her wardrobe. Until then, my father was unaware of the circumstances of his brother’s death and where he was buried. He is buried in Ere Churchyard at Tournai, in Belgium. He was killed by machine-gun fire on 21st of October 1918. There are only two wartime graves in the cemetery, and both are looked after and are in excellent condition. Members of the family visited the cemetery, giving my father the opportunity to pay his last respects to his brother. As you can imagine, it was a very emotional visit and had a prolonged effect on my father. His story about the visit to the grave of his brother was featured in an edition of our local paper, the Tenby Observer.
