| Cause of Death: | Killed in action, in an Officer's Patrol (2/Lt Baines and Sgt Holden) went out at 2 AM and got to enemy's wire. Here lights were thrown up by enemy and 3 sentries fired hitting 2/Lt Baines. The Sergt attempted to get his officer back to our lines, but was followed by a party of Germans who opened fire on them from very close range. 2/Lt Baines was again hit and Sergt Holben had to retire; he states that 2Lt Baines was undoubtedly dead before he left him. Another patrol attempted to recover the body, but without success |
