Abstract
Ulick Richardson Evans, after a lifetime of scientific research which rightfully earned him the title of ‘Father of the modern science of corrosion and protection of metals’, died on 3 April 1980, peacefully in his sleep at home in Cambridge, three days after his 91st birthday. He was born in Wimbledon on 31 March 1889, the son of Richardson and Amy Laura {
née Feeney
) Evans. His father, born in Cork, was for a time in the Indian civil service, but ill-health due to the climate forced him back to London where he became a journalist and the leader writer for a morning newspaper.
