Driver Gwynfor Ivor "Gwyn" Evans was a private and sapper in Royal Engineers Corp, 33 Regiment.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Gwynfor Ivor Evans, (PROSE: The Ambush!) often just called Gwyn, (PROSE: Downtime) came from Llanfairfach (PROSE: The Feast of Evans) and had a half-sister: Sally Wright. (PROSE: Night of the Intelligence) He trained in Military Engineering (Combat), something which his father believed was foolish, (PROSE: The Ambush!) and became a private (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Web of Fear) and sapper in Royal Engineers Corp, 33 Regiment. (PROSE: The Ambush!)
Evans took part in the fight against the Great Intelligence and its robot Yeti in the London Underground. Evans drove the ammunition truck to Holborn when 33 Regiment, and Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart, were ambushed by Yeti. He was the sole survivor of the Yeti attack in Aldwych tube station, (PROSE: The Ambush!) and ran into the Underground tunnels where he got lost for a time, until finding the command centre in Goodge Street. Evans wanted to desert the Army, but the exit gate was locked. (TV: The Web of Fear)
Evans was assigned to guard the bodies of the dead, but failed to notice the resurrection of Staff Sergeant Albert Arnold because he was too busy having a smoke outside. He was later used as a driver for the convoy that brought reinforcements to Bledoe when the Yeti returned. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son)
He was transferred to the newly-formed Fifth Operational Corps by General Hamilton, although Lethbridge-Stewart was not sure what to do with him and handed the problem to Colonel Douglas. (PROSE: The Showstoppers) He was taken to Strommach Island by Sergeant Major Ware, who could see that Evans was a problem. (PROSE: The Grandfather Infestation) Shortly afterwards he transferred to Imber to undergo more intensive training with Captain Younghusband. (PROSE: The Feast of Evans)
Whilst home on leave for Christmas, Evans spotted an alien creature and asked Lethbridge-Stewart for help. Sergeant Major Ware was sent to Llanfairfach to assist, and was pleased to discover the training was finally helping Evans. Evans invited Samson to his family's Christmas meal. (PROSE: The Feast of Evans)
Once his training was complete, he was finally promoted to corporal and transferred to Stirling, to serve with the Fifth's First Battalion. (PROSE: The Life of Evans, Night of the Intelligence) He eventually made some peace with Sally (PROSE: Domination Game), and after her death he visited his step-mother to share the sad news, regaling her exaggerated stories of adventures shared with Sally. (PROSE: Tall Tales)
