Lance Corporal J Mapp 536 attested
that he knew Eviston. He was a young man with very fair hair and
was known as "snowy". He was a quiet fellow but was fond of boxing. He
was with the 2nd Light Horse Bridge Train. He was struck by a shell
while in a dug-out at a place called B Depot on Anzac. His leg was
blown off and he was taken to the 6th F.A. This was in November. Mapp
was present and actually saw the occurrence. Eviston died the
same day at the F.A. Mapp saw his funeral ; Eviston was buried
at a place called Casualty Point. He had only arrived at B Depot 2 or 3
days previously. Red Cross
