• Notes

  ALFRED JAMES EVANS Suffered Injuries during World War 1 from which he eventually died Courtesy of Lorraine Nichols: Per Milton Historical Society: Private Alfred James Evans #663090 is buried in Blk 053 Lot-4 7 1. An original of the 164th Canadian Infantry Battalion from Milton, he was subsequently transferred to the 102nd Battalion of the 11th Infantry Brigade, 4th Canadian Division. Privates Denyes and Crowe, also Milton soldiers killed in action, served in the same unit as Evans. They are both buried in CWGC cemeteries in France. Private Evans was injured by a high explosive shell or gunshot wound to the left arm and jaw in that Battle of Bourlon Wood during Canada's Hundred Days. Although he received extensive medical and dental treatment, he was discharged as medically unfit in August 1920. He lived past the final date of the war on 31 August 1921 and survived until 29 June 1925. There is no doubt that he died of his wounds, but he lived too long to be commemorated under the CWGC criteria and thus does not have an official headstone, nor is he recorded in the CWGC records. Private Evans is remembered on the Victoria Park Cenotaph.
