De Lacy Evans was commissioned Ensign in 22nd Foot the following year, before exchanging into the 3rd Light Dragoons for service in the Peninsular War. He served with distinction in America, and was at Bladensburg, the burning of Washington and the Battle of North Point.

He advanced to General in March 1861, and served as a Member of Parliament for Rye in 1830-1832, and for Westminster from 1833-1841 and 1846-1865.
