256330 Spr. George Beckett 298th Railway Company Royal Engineers (d.9th July 1918) George Beckett was my grandfather, his name was never mentioned in family circles. It was only on my mother's death that it was discovered from marriage and birth certificates, that by chance, the name of George which had been given to her son in 1976 was that of her own grandfather.
George Beckett was 46 when he died. An experienced railway plate layer, his use to 298th Railway Company was obvious. He left home, no doubt assuring his wife and with 5 young daughters that he would not be working anywhere near the front line. Buried in France, his cause of death is still unknown.
