Camp Beauregard is a U.S. Army installation that dates to before 1917, northeast of Alexandria, LA, but the Internet is silent regarding Mr. Taylor's ultimate fate: We'll need some details on him and his unit to get some help from the folks at Camp Beauregard or even the National Archives.
Mr. Taylor's grave is marked by a marble monument that has the family name, "Taylor", on the plinth, a U.S. flag at the top, and the following inscription:
Fred W. Taylor
Only Son of
Lizzie Jennings
Born Sept. 8, 1886
Died while in Military
Training at
Camp Beauregard
Oct. 4, 1918.

It was hard indeed,
To part with thee
But Christ's strong arm
Supported me.
