Lt.-Col. B. G. Baker , D.S.O.
When he was a young man Colonel Baker followed the example of many other late-Victorian youngsters and went to Germany to receive a German military education. Discipline was severe in the Dresden Military College, but while there Colonel Baker assimilated a rare knowledge of the German soldier as exemplified in cadets from every province of the country. After leaving the College he served for a time in the German Army, and this morning he is going to describe some of his experiences while on manoeuvres in Alsace at the end of the last century.
