EVANS, SIR GEORGE DE LACY (1787-187o), British soldier, was born at Moig, Limerick, in 1787, and educated at Woolwich academy. He entered the army in 1806 as a volunteer, and saw service in India, in the Peninsular War, and in America. He returned to England in 1815 and took part in the Waterloo campaign as assistant quartermaster-general on Sir T. Picton's staff. He went on half-pay in 1818. He was M.P. for Rye from 183o to 1832, and for Westminster from 1833 to 1865, except for a short interval from 1841-46. In 1835 he commanded the Spanish Legion in the Carlist War, on the side of the queen of Spain. In 1854, as lieutenant-general he commanded the 2nd Division of the Army of the East in the Crimean War, where he was wounded at the battle of the Alma and on Oct. 26 defeated a large Russian force. Pennefather took his command when he was absent on account of illness, and on his return Evans declined to take back the command, but aided Pennefather with his advice in the struggle. He was invalided home in Feb. 1855. In 1861 Evans, who had received the G.C.B., was promoted full general. He died in London on Jan. 9, 187o.
