Leslie Baron

Private Leslie Baron was a Canadian radio operator in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, part of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division, who appears in Call of Duty 3.
==Call of Duty 3==
Baron, serving as the radio operator for Lt. Robiechauld, is routinely criticized by Robiechauld, who believes he is a coward for not engaging the Germans directly. Baron argues that his job is to protect the radio- without it, his unit will have no direct link to higher command, depriving them of intelligence and reinforcements should they need it. 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 ordered to go to Mount Ormel to replace the Polish radio operator who was killed in action. He argues against being sent away as it would leave his own unit without a radioman but Lieutenant Robiechauld belittles him, saying that their unit is going on a dangerous rescue operation and that he is doing Baron a favor by sending him to the Poles. Baron protests further but the lieutenant coldly dismisses him, pointing in the direction of the Polish position and saying, "You've got your orders soldier." After he links up with the Polish unit, Baron calls in artillery strikes on the German tanks as Bohater directs. During an intense firefight with the Germans, Ulan tells him to take cover as their position is crumbling in the face of the German advance. Tired of being accused of cowardice, Baron refuses to leave his post, saying "My job is to call artillery strikes". Ulan tries to reason with him that he would be running away (reasonably) from bullets, not from his job. Moments later he is hit by small arms fire and killed instantly. Ulan laments his death but is able to salvage Baron's radio, enabling them to continue calling in badly needed artillery support.
