Do you have Major Beck's first name?  His approximate date of
enlistment might also be helpful.

I forgot to add to my previous comment that the British military is
secretive about details concerning serving or retired service
personnel.  Individual personnel have in the past been targetted by
terrorists (specifically the IRA) both on and off duty.
