They joined 99 Squadron together as part of the RAF Volunteer Reserve. Ted was trained as ground crew and George was an Air Gunner on Wellington bombers. They were originally at Waterbeach and were then posted with 99 Squadron to India. When the squadron converted to Liberators, Flight Sergeant George Baker 1610129 was a Ball Gunner. He was killed on 21st January 1945 (just 2 days before his 23rd Birthday) when his aircraft collided in mid-air with another Liberator from the same Squadron. He was buried with the other crew members at Maynamati War Cemetery in Bangladesh. My Dad never talked about it, and he died in 1983. I still have a few photos of their time in India that Dad brought home.
