| Citation: | Military Medal Citation.Middle EastDuring the period 18 Feb - 31 May 1943 Sergeant Evans has carried out gallant and efficient work at MARETH. Sergeant Evans was responsible for marking and lighting minefield gaps under heavy shellfire, but at no time did this deter him from completing his task in an efficient manner. In the same area Sergeant Evans was responsible for the Traffic Control in connection with ammo dumping and it was in great part due to his efficiency that these programmes were successfully carried out night after night in the ENFIDAVILLE area. Sergeant Evans was in charge of the Pro Section attached to 153 Brigade and here again he carried out the marking and lighting of tracks often under heavy shellfire. Throughout this period Sergeant Evans inspired his section not only by the efficient way he has tackled many difficult and dangerous jobs but also by his complete disregard for his own safety under intense enemy fire.Awarded a periodical MM.
