			Lance-Sergeant Baldwin was mortally wounded alongside the two members of the Bren Group (Pte Edwin Leonard Palmer and Pte Raymond Smiles) from Sgt Elliott's Platoon, who were also casualties, while he was supporting them in assisting an assault by another Platoon from 10th Battalion. He had volunteered to take on this role in the absence, injured, of the Gun Group Commander. The circumstances are described in Sgt Elliott's interview with the Imperial War Museum. The assaulting Platoon itself did not suffer any casualties in this attack.
