I never met my great grandfather, Cecil Baker, as he died the year I was born. But the whole family talk about what a great man he was. He went out with the B.E.F. in August 1914, he kept a scrap book full of newspaper clippings of his time in the Army, mainly his rugby career, where he raised and trained the battlion rugby team, winning the army cup on four consecutive years, in 1913 he became the first gentleman cadet from Sandhurst to play for the army.
