He was born on July 10, 1898, the son of E. J. McCauley, who now lives at 13 East Superior Street, and as a boy attended Jackson School, Duluth. He saw three years of terribly hard service in France, and passed through the severe fighting of 1916 and 1917 without so much as a scratch. Early in 1918, however, he was wounded, and when partially convalescent was sent on recruiting duty to Scotland. That assignment accomplished, however, he was again ordered to France, and was again wounded.
