Evans', presented in their original packaging (5)Provenance: By direct descent from the recipientFootnote: The Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) is the oldest British award for gallantry and was awarded to Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and men of the British Army for 'distinguished, gallant and good conduct in the field'. It was the second-highest award for gallantry in action after the Victoria Cross for the ranks below that of a commissioned officer. The Croix de Guerre was a French military decoration, but was also commonly awarded to foreign military forces allied to France who distinguished themselves by acts of heroism involving combat with the enemy and who had been 'mentioned in dispatches'. The ribbon devices indicate the importance or degree of the soldier's role during the action cited. The lowest degree is represented by a bronze star and the highest degree is represented by a bronze palm, as with this example. Frederick J. Evans joined the East Surrey Regiment in 1914. While there, he was promoted to Lance Corporal and then to Corporal. He moved to the Training Reserve Rifle Brigade, (number TR/13/80433), where he was promoted to Sergeant. He later transferred to the Royal West Kent Regiment as second Lieutenant and was subsequently promoted to Lieutenant, leaving the service in 1920. He was related (possibly uncle) to Sidney S. Evans (See lot 349) Cpl. Evans was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) in January 1916 for his part in an attack on a German gun trench on October 13th 1915, resulting in the destruction of the trench, the capture of 16 prisoners, a machine gun and three trench mortars. His group then successfully repulsed a German counter-attack the following morning. This was the 7th battalion's first fight during which 58 men were killed, 158 were wounded and 33 were reported missing. A total of 1 Distinguished Service order, 2 Military Crosses, 6 Distinguished Conduct Medals and 4 Military Medals were awarded to men involved in the attack, and 3 officers were 'mentioned in dispatches'. General Sir Douglas Haig personally presented Cpl. Evans with the Croix de Guerre avec Palme on November 6th 1915 for 'conspicuous gallantry and good service' following the Gun Trench attack in addition to 'gallantry in patrol work and sniping' over recent months, activities for which he had been mentioned in dispatches.
