The Memorial to Capt Frank Beck and 'E' Company, 5th Battalion Norfolk Regiment.
Beck was instrumental in the formation of the Sandringham Company of Volunteers known as 'E' Company, 5th Battalion Norfolk Regiment, Territorial Force. Made up of the grooms, gardeners, farm labourers and household staff from the King's estates they were formed in 1906.
On August 12th 1915, a large part of the Norfolks (including Capt. Beck and many of the Sandringham Company) were missing in action. For several years, nothing was known of their fate and there is still uncertainty as to their fate.
