Dr. T. C. C. Evans, of Kyogle, who has gone to the front to join the Army Medical Corps, was on Friday afternoon farewelled by a large gathering. Cr. R. E. Alcorn presided and presented the genial doctor with a handsome case of pipes and a silver toothpick from his lady friends.
The Kyogle Examiner (N.S.W.) 8-6-1918
In the list of birthday honors conferred by the King, and appearing in the Sydney press during the week, is the name of Major T. C.Evans, who has gained the distinction of D.S.O. Major (Dr.) Evans is the eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. T. G. C. Evans, and left his practice at Kyogle in order to serve with the A.M.C. He offered his services at the very outbreak of war, but it was some months before he was called up. However, he left Kyogle
early in 1915, and put in several very strenuous months on Gallipoli, and later was transferred to France, where he has been ever since, except
for a couple of months spent on transport duty, during which he paid a hurried visit to Kyogle. The order conferred upon Dr. Evans is one his many friends here feel he has richly merited, and in the gaining of this distinction he has conferred honor on the district from which so many brave men have enlisted.
