Beckett of Kensington, a member of the Eighth Liverpool Kings infantry who saw active service 500 850 at the memorable battle of Verdun | with the allies, arrived home today to spend a few days furlough with his C. Beckett. | He will return to Baltimore Saturday to report to.the British counsul pre- paratory to departure for the war zone, ready to enter the conflict in the big drive that the allies are to | begin with the advent of the spring. Young Beckett’'s war experiences have been numerous since his first en- try into the conflict in 1915. Becom- ing imbued with the war spirit, Beckett left his quiet home and went to Canada but encountered some dif- ficulty in joining the army. However undaunted, he went across the ocean and succeeded in enlisting with the | King's infantry. Shipped into the storm center, the regiment of which | Beckett was a member was in the | thickest of the fray, and was but one | rank in rear of the main firing line. | “Alhtough passing through the battle | without wounds, Beckett fell a victim | s malady confronting | to the deadly most of the soldiers known as; “trench feet,”” whicn incapacita_ted | him for several weeks at a detention | camp. Later he was a patient in a | hospital in Liverpool. Beckett is enthusiastic over the | prospects of the allies being the vic- | tors in the war. Life in the trenches | while. not as comfortable as the quiet of a New England home, has its in- | teresting features, and although the “boys” are now shivering from the frigid atmosphereic conditions they are looking forward with keen de- light to the balmy weather soon to make its appearance. On his return to the United States, Beckett was apprised of the rumor that the Deutschland, the German submersible which twice crossed the ocean to this country, has fallen a victim to the alert English cruisers and is now held a prisoner of war in the harbor of Falmouth.
