English: First Lieutenant Joseph Emmett Beauton, A.S., U.S.A., 13th Aero Squadron, Second Pursuit Group. Killed in airplane accident, June 3, 1918. Son of William F. N. and Ella Teresa (Ahern) Beauton; was born at New Haven, Conn., March 13, 1895. He was educated at the Lovell Grammar School, New Haven High School, and Sheffield Scientific School, Yale. At high school he played on the football team in 1911, '12, and '13. At Yale he played on the freshman football team in 1914. He enlisted in July, 1917, and trained first at the Ground School of Urbana University, 111., until about Sept. 15. From then until Dec. 1, 1917, he trained at the Flying School in Belleville, 111. ; and was commissioned 1st Lieut. Dec. 23, 1917. He sailed overseas in Feb., 1918, and received training first on Caudrons. Later he went through the courses for advanced training at Issoudun. He joined the first flight of the 13th Squadron, which was sent to the front south of Chalons-sur-Marne; the Group consisting of the 99th Observation Squadron and one French Escadrille. This Group was stationed at Haussimont-sur-Marne, and worked with an artillery camp from March until June, 1918. On June 1 the 99th Squadron was ordered to Amanty, leaving the flight of the 13th to work from this field with the French until the Squadron should be completed. On the morning of June 3, Lieut. Beauton took his mechanic, Hugh A. Tate, up for a trial flight. They left at about seven-thirty, and returned about fifteen minutes later, because of motor trouble. At that time Sopwiths were being used, and were not of the most dependable type. As the machine neared the edge of the field it was seen to side-slip and then nose over and dive. Lieut. Beauton fell and was killed. He was buried in the town of Mailly, seven miles from Haussimont, France. Identifier: NewEnglandaviatVol2Tick (find matches) |
