Evan was born and raised on his parents farm, Hafodoer, Brithdir, near Dolgellau, Merionethshire.
Very little is apparently recorded about Evan before he enlisted in The Royal Engineers other than he had studied in Aberystwyth College.
There is no information on the circumstances of Evan's death other than he was killed in action on 17 November 1917. 
Evan's brother Hugh Trebor Evans died, also in the Ypres Salient, two month earlier.  
Evan is buried in Steenkerke Belgian Military Cemetery. He is commemorated alongside his brother on the War Memorial in Dolgellau.  
We will remember him.
