Question about a memorial paper from 1914-1919 in French, Translation? WW1?

I have a paper thats in french from WWI. Its says 1914-1919 A La Memoire de Evan Williams Burton U.S. Navy Des Etats-unis D'Amerique, Mort Pour La Liberte Pendant La Grande Guerre Hommage De La France Le President del la Republique - (Signature, something fancy, cant read it). Its framed, very old, and has beautiful artwork and border. I assuming the french roughly means In The Memory of Evan Williams Burton (U.S. Navy) something something died for the liberty blah blah honor of the France, The President of the Republic... or something along those lines. Any translation or info on this would be appreciated.
