Percy Baker
British Army 8th Btn Sherwood Foresters
from:Nottinghamshire
Percy Baker was my 2nd great uncle. He served in the 8th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters for 183 days. He was attested to service on the 3rd of February 1914. At that time, his rank was Boy (since he was 16 years old at the time).
Eventually, on the 5th of August 1914, he was discharged. According to his pension record, he was discharged because he was physically unfit for war service. He died in 1923 in Nottinghamshire. This is all I know of him.
