We Remember Private Robert Bob Evans Bob arrived in Canada from England in1902 at 11 years old as an orphan Home Child with Barnardo Homes and eventually to live on the farm of Sidney Parker until 1912. He enlisted out west in 1915 and died just over a year later, having served in the trenches in Belgium and France. On Sept. 26, 1916, he took part in the latter part of the Somme offensive with the task of cleaning and consolidating sections of the front line near Thiepv...al, France. When his letters to his sister and Sid Parker stopped, they both wrote to military authorities. What a trial it must have been for them, as he was first reported missing, and later presumed dead. He is remembered on the Vimy memorial in France, commemorated on the Walkerton Cenotaph and his presumed death was reported in the Walkerton Herald and Times. http://bruceremembers.org/soldier/808/ #WeRemember #Remembrance2020 #BruceCountyHistory #BruceCountySoldiers Walkerton Legion Branch 102 Municipality of Brockton
