Evans, George W.

a news dispatch from the Anzio beach Head in Italy tell how Evans risk his liefe to same one of the beachhead's ammunition dumps and countless lives. The German artillery had started a bunch of 105 mm shells blazing in the middle of one of the biggest ammunition dumps of the allies. Evans was alone and the enemy shells were still mushrooming destruction, but there was a large group of Fifth Army soldiers near enough that would have been blown away had the dump exploded. Evans waded into the dump started throwing unburned cases and the flaming cases to keep the blaze from spreading. Then with shells still falling and the burning 105s due to go off any moment, he shoveled dirt on the fire and put it out. Corporal Evans is a son of Mrs. Lillie Evans, 106 North Ella street, Picher Oklahoma. He was reared in Picher and graduated from Picher high school. He has been in service several years.
