He has displayed a high standard of navigational ability throughout and has proved himself to be a most reliable member of aircraft crew. One night in July, 1944, when returning from Hamburg, bis aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire and sustained extensive damage. Pilot Officer Evans was badly wounded in the leg. Although in much distress he insisted on fulfilling his duties after receiving first aid. Although much of his equipment had been destroyed, Pilot Officer Evans navigated the aircraft home with his usual skill. This officer displayed great courage, fortitude and devotion to duty.
