MYSTERIOUS SHOT KILLS PRIVATE - Hull Daily Mail - 9th July 1919
*****************************************************************
A mysterious affair was investigated at Didcot Depot, Oxfordshire, on Tuesday night, at an inquest on Herbert Beeby, a private in the Northumberland Fusiliers.
It was stated that an alarm had been sounded, and the guard hurried to the sentry posts near the magazines. The report was "all clear," and Beeby, and Privates P. Butler and J. Clarke were "doubling" back to the guard room when a rifle was fired and Private Beeby fell mortally wounded.
The medical evidence showed that it was impossible for the wound to have been self-inflicted. Butler said they were proceeding abreast when the shot was fired. Clarke said they were in single file with Beeby at the rear.
The jury found that the injury was not self-inflicted, but there was no evidence to show by whom the shot was fired.
*********************************************************************
Pvt. Beeby died aged 20.
