Reading edition
Captain Baker—formerly Quartermaster—had volunteered for a combatant Commission when we were short of Officers after the Somme Battles—and was given command of B Company which he held until killed in September, 1917. The high qualities which had made him an ideal Quartermaster, made him equally successful as a Company Commander.
