The JUDGE ADVOCATE STATED:
The charges are signed by Lt.-Col. Bland at Chelsea on the 13th April
1943. He commands the Holding Battalion
of the Scots Guards.
The charge sheet is endorsed
“To be tried by General-Court Martial” and was signed by Col. G. M. Cox,
A.A.G., for the Lieutenant-General Commanding London District at London on the
15th April 1943.
Evan's Court Martial was convened at Chelsea Barracks on 19 April, 1943. He was found guilty on charges 1 and 3 and severely reprimanded.
The history fraudsters led by Wales on Line paint an absurd story of Evan being freed from Court Martial by MI 5. Such lies are a poor reflection on a news media that expects to be taken seriously. Despite pointing out the true narrative relating to Evan's humiliating war Wales on Line remain silent.
