Son of F.B. and M.K. Euard.

First Knox undergraduate to enlist. Stationed at a camp in East Saint Louis. He wrote letters back home to his family and friends, but one letter to his TKE fraternity brothers gave an account of the night a thief snuck into their camp and caused much excitement. He was promoted to First Lieutenant in the American Expeditionary Forces, and left for France soon after. He fought in a few battles, until the Armistice was declared on 11 Nov 1918. Euard remained in France after the war.

DNB / Died Non Battle - died from a bout of scarlet fever while in France
