Evans L M Lt Army Service Corps
SECOND LIEUTENANT LESLIE MORIER EVANS, Royal Army Service Corps, the son of Thomas Stephen Evans, was born in 1879 and educated privately. He became a member of the Stock Exchange in 1904.
He served in the National Volunteers for a year, and then went to a Cadet school, till he took his commission in September 1917.
Two months later, on 12 November, he was killed by a shell.
One of his brother officers wrote: “Though he had only been with us a short time he had become the life and soul of the mess. His loss to us can never be made good. A mind so original and untrammelled is seldom met with and the world can ill spare such a man. I have lost a real friend and most charming companion. He made all our lives happier and was a most loyal and conscientious officer.”
He married the daughter of Arthur Hipwell, J.P., by whom he had one daughter.
