Joseph had been a chauffeur in London when he and Jeannie married; I presume they moved out of London when war broke out; after all, Joe would have been 58 by then so too old for service.  I haven't found him in WWI at all; going by his occupation, I would imagine he would have enlisted in the Army in transport of some sort. 


John C's birth reg is in Chertsey RD in 1911, according to his death he was born in June 1911.
Electoral registers for Lyne (Chertsey) have a Joseph Beck from 1911 -later registers have a Jennie Beck with him.  I wonder if he was a chauffeur at Fan Court  :-\
