He was part of 36 Battery of the Canadian Field Artillery and was killed on September 2, 1918, on the DQ Line in France. His remains are buried in plot 2 D 21 in the Monchy British Cemetery in Monchy-le-Preux, France. Submitted by Mahone Bay Branch #049 of The Royal Canadian Legion.

The RCR were not in battle for most of October 1918, so it seems that Avard may have died of wounds received prior to October 1, 1918. He is buried in plot 2 E 9 in the Valenciennes (St. Roch) Communal Cemetery. Submitted by Mahone Bay Branch #049 of The Royal Canadian Legion.
