According to records, Edward Baker died on 22nd February, 1915 and is commemorated on the Menin Gate memorial for the missing in Ypres. However on that day the 1st Northumberland Fusiliers battalion of 9 Brigade, 3rd Division were in billets in Kruisstraat preparing to go into the front line the following day and the battalion diary makes no mention of any casualties. He could have been temporarily attached to another unit or perhaps the date of his death was incorrectly recorded.
