He is noted for his long and succesful military career in both the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] and the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] and as a recipient of both the [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] [[Order of Joanus|Knight's Cross]] and the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Ordre d'Distintiu]], the highest order for gallantry awarded by either country. As Chief of the [[General Staff (Yonderre)|General Staff]] d'Everard was instrumental in the 1948 [[New Army (Yonderre)|New Army agreement]] that modernized the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] greatly from an army relying doctrinally on static defence to one of rapid maneuver warfare. d'Everard would go on to become [[Chief of Defence (Yonderre)|Chief of Defence]] of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] in 1956, a position he held until his retirement in 1970. Following his retirement from the YDF d'Everard was posted to [[Burgundie]] as [[Yonderian Ambassador to Burgundie|Ambassador]], serving with distinction for ten years in this capacity. | ||
d'Everard joined the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] in 1924 and rose to the rank of Lieutenant before seeking furlough and joining the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] in 1929. He fought in numerous campaigns for the Burgoignesc and was awarded, amongst other orders, the [[Crotx della Valor]], [[Escut della Sang]] and finally the [[Ordre d'Distintiu]], [[Burgundie]]'s highest order for gallantry. He was wounded in combat several times and ultimately sent home to [[Yonderre]] in 1935 for medical reasons. After attending a higher officer candidate school d'Everard held a regimental command in the [[Guard Dragoon Division]] before being sent as a military observer to [[Burgundie]] in 1939 in time for the [[New Burgundie Secession War]]. | d'Everard joined the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] in 1924 and rose to the rank of Lieutenant before seeking furlough and joining the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] in 1929.
