BAKER IS AIDE-DE-CAMP FOR GENERAL OF FOREIGN LEGION

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Secretary, chauffeur, and unofficial aide-de-camp for a general in the French Foreign Legion is the present occupation of John C. Baker '42, according to the latest letter from him to a friend at Harvard.

Unable to get a commission in the famous colonial fighting organization, Baker declared that he has not yet given up hope of fighting on the side of the Allies, though for the time being he must be satisfied with something tamer than active service.

An attempt to enlist with the Polish army also failed, Baker said, but other possibilities for reaching the front are joining up with the British or Czechoslovakian army.
