	Regret to report the death of 2nd Lieut. Frank C Beechey, who was the assistant master at the Choir School, Lincoln., a few days ago his mother who resides at 14 Avondale Street, Lincoln, received a telegram stating her son was suffering from dangerous wounds, caused by a shell burst, and was in a casualty clearing station, and this was followed by a second telegram stating he was dead. He was the fifth son of the late Rev Beechey, was educated at Leatherhead Clergy School, and had been a master at the De Aston School, Market Rasen, also at Horsham and Hornsea. He came to Lincoln in September 1912, to take up the position of assistant master at the Choir School, under Mr. T. R. Coombes.    Apart from his professional duties, he devoted much time to football and cricket. Since 1912 he had played for the Lindum C.C. and a onetime captain of the club. An efficient wicket-keeper, and once kept wicket for the County.    He had had some previous military training before the war in the Horsham Territorials, and when war broke out, applied for a commission in his old Company, but becoming impatient of the long delay, which was necessitated, he joined the 2nd Lincolns as a private. He showed a peculiar adeptness in signalling, and before long became sergeant-instructor signalling at Bulworth Camp. He then went into Officers Training School at Bedford, and sometime later obtained his commission in the East Yorkshire Regiment. He continued to specialise in signalling, and received additional training at a signalling school in Newcastle, his advancement to the command of a signalling company at Hedon, near Hull, and the rank of brigade signalling officer, following as a matter of course.    His am.     His ambition, however, was to get to the Front, and his wish was gratified, after being told he was to remain at Hedon, and after having, on the strength of that taken a house at Withernea.   He went out in May last. He is the second son to be killed in action.
