Sergeant Eric "Spud" Baker, Korea, 1953-54.
Contributed by Keith Baker
My father, Sergeant Eric "Spud" Baker, also served in the 120th during the "police action" (sic). Dad has never been one to talk about it, which is understandable as I believe a number of his comrades were killed during the war.
Both Eric and wife Doris are alive and well living here in Australia. We emigrated here is Aug 1969 shortly after dad finished 25 yrs in the RA, reaching the rank of Sgt Major/Warrant Officer II (?)
