Albert Evans was in the 2/8th battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers which was formed at Mossborough on 29th September 1914. They were attached to 197 Brigade, 66th Div. on 8 February 1915, they were disbanded in France on 31st July 1918.Albert was transferred to the Labour Corps probably due to wounds, his rank and number was 671031 Pte. Evans of the 533rd. Agricultural Coy. I?m afraid don?t know when he was transferred.He was the son of Price Evans of 40,Mackworth St. Bridgend, Glamorgan, South Wales and died as a result of Chronic Splenic Anaemia at Pembroke Dock Military Hospital on 7.2.19. He is buried in Molleston Baptist Chapel yard in Narberth, West Wales.Question for Joe or anyone else who may know. What is chronic splenic anaemia and is it something that can be caused by mustard gas or similar? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
