At the start of the war the 2nd Middlesex battalion were in Malta but they soon returned to England where they joined 23 Brigade of 8th Division. The division landed in France on 5th November, 1914 and on 14th November 2nd Middlesex had their first experience of the trenches at Neuve Eglise. From 14th-19th December they were in the front line trenches at Richebourg near Neuve-Chapelle. Frederick Beech died from wounds on 20th December and it is likely that he was wounded during this period spent in the front line.
