Add my storyBiography contributed by Faithe Jones
Husband of Mary Jane BEECHAM, 207 Queen Street, Bendigo, Vic.
Private Charles Beecham is a son-in-law of Mrs. McLoughlin. He is 32 years of age (lied about his age), and has a wife and five children to yearn for his safe return. The enlistment of his three brothers- in-law and his own twin brother caused him to become discontented until he got into khaki himself, which was about six weeks ago. He was a miner here prior to enlistment, and is now a member of the Miners' Tunnelling Corps at present in training at Seymour.
