A Bold Leader in Battle

Castle Aghinolfi high located in Italy’s Apennine Mountains was a spot of utmost importance for the Germans strategically. The Allied forces desperately wanted to take control of the castle. This is where Baker along with his 25 infantrymen on April 5, 1945, came in action and fearlessly dodged snipers, barbed wires, and mines to reach a position extremely close to the Castle in control of the Germans.
