Sapper A Baker of the Royal Engineers 94309 was previously on the daily wounded list for 2 Oct 1916, so might this have happened in Salonica with a previous unit and the papers muddled up the information?

That's an excellent spot Jomot (my bit earlier about the unit not serving in Salonika was a way of saying he might have served in another unit).  I'd bet your suggestion is the explanation.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Except that he did not die until 1918!

The 1916 was a wounded list so:
Wounded Salonika 1916
Rejoins when fixed
Joins 26 Fd Company in France at some time
Wounded 1918 in France and dies.  As Jomot suggests, local newspaper mixes up the 1916 report with the 1918 death.
