Frank Beech
There are only two mentions of Frank in the coverage of the war in the
Shipley Times & Express, both very brief.
On 14 July 1916, he is listed among the Baildon men wounded in the
battle of the Somme, Frank having been hurt ‘in the face and shoulder.’
On 2 November 1917, the paper reported:
Much sympathy is felt by the many friends of Mr and Mrs C H Beech of
Bank Crest, in the loss they have sustained by the death in action of their
only son L Cpl Frank Beech, of the West Yorkshire Regt, who was 20
years of age.
