The first two links lead to an army conscription list. Nikolai Beckman was enrolled to the russian army in 1915.

Third link leads to the Estonian Biographical Index. To see the document You found, You have to register yourself as an user: http://nimed.ee/ (You can switch to an english version).

The newspaper Päewaleht 3.4.1917 has a newslist of wounded or fallen soldiers. Lipnik (a younger officer, ensign) Nikolai Bekman is mentioned as wounded.

Nikolai has been registered as a resident of Vormsi parish but his actual address was not known (ne võjasneno). He had no privileges (lgotõ net), he was the only member of family (odinotshka), I suppose that his mother was dead. He was not taken to the army in Läänemaa (the blank space instead of numbers and Russian word prinjat).
I suppose he didn't live in Tallinn nor Tartu also, otherwise his name would have been indexed already.
Maybe he was a sailor or lived somewhere in Russia or abroad.
