Included in this section are accounts from an army colleague's perspective, who served with Baker in China during the war.

Also included is a recollection by the Murrays of the life in the Himalayas, Baker's resourcefulness and enterprising nature, carving out a hospital and a house literally on the peak of one of the highest mountains in India.
