Leslie Baron

"No! I'm not a coward!"

- Leslie, before being shot by advancing Germans

Leslie Baron was a Canadian radio operator in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, part of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division.

Call of Duty 3
He comes under criticism from his commander, Lt. Robiechauld, for not engaging in battles, usually arguing that he was operating the radio. Baron receives orders via the radio saying that they are to take an industrial area nearby, but they soon face a major force of German troops that were in the area already.

After the battle at the industrial yard, Baron is later sent to Mount Ormel to replace the Polish radio operator who was killed in action. While there, Baron calls in artillery strikes on the German tanks. Baron is eventually killed after fierce gunfights with the Germans, when Ulan tells him to "Get out of here". Baron replies, saying "My job is to call artillery strikes" and then says, "I'm not a coward". A moment later, he is killed by a bullet to the head.

 * In the last cutscene of "The Mace", it is strange how Lt. Jean-Guy Robiechauld doesn't ask Major Stan Jackowitz what happened to Pte. Leslie Baron. He may have been told before talking to "Papa Jack", or he may have been informed after his conversation with Major Jackowitz.
