Brigadier Sir Ifan Bevan (ee-van) and his wife Martha are the parents of Staff Sergeants Rhys and David Bevan. In 1931, he also fathered a third son, James. Bevan served in Belgium during the Great War under the respectable officer rank of Brigadier, supposedly under the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. He retired before the Second World War began, much to his chagrin, although he still maintained a role in planning and intelligence. He has also, at least according to himself, won medals for his bravery on the battlefield. He was extremely proud of his sons and embraced the two upon hearing word of their promotions.
