Harry Baxter
Brigadier Henry Joseph Patrick "Harry" Baxter CBE GM KM (8 April 1921 – 10 January 2007) was an Irish 〔 born fourth generation soldier who overcame the handicap of being blind in one eye to join the army and rose to command one of the largest and most controversial regiments in the British Army.
==Indian Army==
Harry Baxter was born a "child of the regiment" to the Royal Irish Fusiliers.〔 Despite being blind in his right eye as the result of a childhood shooting accident in India he was determined to join the army in 1939. The medical officer who tested him was impressed to meet someone who was trying to cheat his way "into" the army that he passed him fit for the Indian Army.〔Doherty, pp. 37–8.〕 He gave up a scholarship place at Oxford University and was commissioned as a 2nd Lt. to the Punjab Regiment on 11 October 1942 with the number 363915. Baxter's service in India was mostly wartime and he served in Burma.〔Ryder, p. 69.〕 His Emergency Commission was changed to a Permanent Commission in the British Army on 25 May 1946 when he joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers (RIF) as a Temporary Major.〔
