He spent the First World War as a destroyer captain, becoming famous as \"Evans of the Broke\" after the Battle of Dover Strait in 1917. He commanded a cruiser at Hong Kong in 1921-22, where he was awarded a medal for his role in rescuing passengers from the wrecked Hong Moh, and then spent several years commanding the home fisheries protection squadron before being given command of the modern battlecruiser Repulse. He later commanded the Australian Squadron and the Africa Station before becoming Commander-in-Chief, The Nore, one of the Navy's major home commands; during this time, unusually for a serving officer, he was also Rector of the University of Aberdeen. After four years at the Nore he handed over command in early 1939 and was appointed a civil defence commissioner for London during the preparations for the Second World War; after the German invasion of Norway he travelled there to liaise with King Haakon VII, a personal acquaintance. He remained in a civil defence role through the war, though he had officially retired from the Navy in 1941, and was made a peer in 1945."@en . .
