He was awarded the Military Cross (MC) for bravery on the 8/9th of May 1917 when he "personally organised and led a bombing attack along a trench, thereby gaining about 200 yards" wherein "by his dash and courage an almost impossible position was improved and placed on a sound and tactical basis". Capt Evans died of wounds near Polygon Wood, Belgium, on 20 September 1917. In this studio portrait he is wearing the ribbon of the MC suggesting the photograph was taken while Captain Evans was on leave in Paris or England shortly before his death. His brother, 2399 Private Francis Evans, 51st Battalion, was killed in action, also in Belgium, on 13 October 1917.
