Pte. Charles Alfred Beeton

British Army 2nd Battalion Suffolk Regiment

from:Leicester

My granddad, Charles Beeton who is sadly no longer with us, joined the Suffolk Regiment in 1938, and was sent to India in 1940. He trained there before he was sent to Singapore. He was captured in Singapore by the Japanese and sent to build the death railway in Burma, were he spent the rest of war as a POW. He returned home after being liberated by the Americans in late 1945.

He lived a full life until his tragic death in 1966 when he knocked down by a motorbike.
