Military Medal 'For gallantry and devotion to duty. Near VILLERS CARBONNEL on 29th August 1918 a platoon was advancing to establish posts on the SOMME when they were opened on with a heavy concentration of artillery and Machine gun fire which caused them to scatter. Corporal BAKER displayed great powers of leadership and courage in holding his section and getting them established in a post. Afterwards he rendered great assistance in reorganising remainder of platoon, and set a fine example of coolness and courage to all.'
