Studio portrait of 609 Sapper (Spr) Wilfred 'Tom' Baker, 3rd Signal Troop, 3rd Light Horse Brigade. A labourer from Victoria in civilian life, Spr Baker enlisted on 19 October 1914, passing the medical test even though he had a recent perforation injury causing vision problems with his right eye. Spr Baker embarked from Melbourne, Victoria aboard HMAT Chilka (A51) on 1 February 1915 and served at Gallipoli, Egypt and the Middle East. His sight caused him problems however he continued serving and returned to Australia with the 3rd Signal Troop Engineers on 10 July 1919.
