Coincidentally, Baker joined the army just six months before the entry of U.S. into the world war. Through the increasing tension of the war spreading across Europe, Baker saw himself being appointed as a second lieutenant in the year 1943. Just a year after that he was stationed in Italy among the famous 92nd Infantry Division amidst the war. Baker didn’t lose hope even after getting an arm injury and came back again to fight for his country in the year 1944. It was from here that his life transformed completely.
