WW1 solider - Wally EVANS of Melbourne area.

While recently compiling some family photos for my DiL (complements of her Grandmother) I happened on a photo of one Wally EVANS.  Apparently he had been engaged for a short time to one Eileen Freestone.
If he is an ancestor of yours I am happy to send you a copy of this photo.

Tried Aif project but being upgraded.  That will give  information on  date and place of  birth,
profession and next of kin  Hope this helps someone

Thank you for that narrowing of possibilities, all I can hope for is someone working on their tree and makes the connection via this post.

          Now that the AIF project is back on line  the following information is  available .  There are in
fact 17 soldiers  named as Walter Evans.  But there are only three from Victoria.

Walter Francis Evans.  B 1891  of  No 8 Park avenue Glen Huntly  Victoria.  Enlisted  11/0/1914
returned  25/9/1919  NOK  Mre J P Skardon  of same address.

Fingers crossed that a descendent of Wally EVANS comes across this post eventually, thank you for the additional information.

Hi,

I think only members of the Australian Flying Corps wore forage caps with a rising sun badge about 1/3-1/2 way down the side near the top.

Thank you Gerry,
I think I may need to do some serious research into the possible identity of 'my' Wally EVANS to see what extra information I can turn up about him.
