Soldat Bert Baker
This is the reverse side of the Casualty Register for Private Bert Baker. #58170 of the 20th Battalion. He is an interesting case, as it shows that he was originally buried in the Kastelhoek German Cemetery No. 61 in Grave 237. The other reports, also provided here, show that he was initially thought to be lost in 1924 but it was discovered that he had been exhumed and concentrated into the Oosttaverne Wood Cemetery, where he was identified in 1926.

This is the first part of the E-103 War Graves Register that shows that the original intent was to have his name listed on the Menin Gate Memorial, as his remains were not found in the Harlebeke British Cemetery. All that was found there was a Memorial Cross but no remains. It was presumed that his body had been lost due to shell fire. It is noted on the form that he was later found in the Oosttaverne Wood Cemetery.

This is the second part of the E-103 War Graves Register that shows the effort made to contact the next-of-kin to appraise them of the situation and, where possible, the location of the remains. The family was initially advised that the grave had been lost, however it appears that in the two attempts to notify his sister, Mrs. Florence WIlliams, that the letters were returned. His Service Record shows his father was serving with the British Forces in Egypt.

It was not until the change of address in his Service Record was found that it was known that Mrs. Florence Williams, named on the E-103 as next-of-kin, was his sister.

The Last Will of Private Bert Henry Baker shows that his estate was left to his sister. More importantly, we now know that his second name was "Henry". Prior to that he was known on the records as either B. H. Baker or Bert H. Baker.

Within the service record of Private Bert Henry Baker is the information that details that the death and burial was reported by the German Government. This was common for Canadian Officers found and buried by the enemy but not so common for the Other Ranks. It was fortunate in the case of Private Baker that all the parties involved kept good records, otherwise he could have very easily been misplaced.

CIMETIÈRE DU BOIS D'OOSTTAVERNE Belgique
Le cimetière du bois d'Oosttaverne est à 6,5 kilomètres au sud du centre-ville d'Ypres, sur la Rijselseweg (N336), reliant Ypres à Lille. À partir du centre-ville d'Ypres, prenez la Rijselsestraat en partant de la place du marché, traversez la porte de Lille (Rijselpoort) et passez au-dessus des carrefours comprenant la route périphérique d'Ypres. Le nom de la route devient alors Rijselseweg.
Conduisez sur une distance de 3,5 kilomètres sur la Rijselseweg. À cet endroit, la route bifurque avec la route N365. Prenez l'embranchement à gauche, la route N336, vers Lille. Le cimetière se trouve du côté droit de cette route, à 2 kilomètres.
