Fisher, Athol Hugh

Born 1892 Hobart Tasmania the son of William and Harriet Winifred Fisher (nee Jones) and married to Ethel Margaret Thompson a banker he embarked Hobart 20^th October 1914 on board “HMAT Geelong” with the 12th Infantry Battalion and the rank of Corporal.

He was killed in action 7^th August 1915 on the Gallipoli Peninsula and is commemorated in the Johnston's Jolly Cemetery Turkey.

On August 26^th the reverend C H Corvan of Latrobe had the painful duty of breaking the news to Mrs A H Fisher that her husband Corporal A H Fisher had been killed in action at the Dardanelles on August 7^th. The greatest sympathy has been expressed on every hand for Mrs Fisher in her trouble. She is left with two little children. Corporal Fisher who was a clerk in the Bank of Australasia enlisted at Latrobe and was a member of the first expeditionary force. He was in the first landing of the Australian troops at the Dardanelles on April 25^th. He was wounded in the neck some time ago but sufficiently recovered to again enter the fighting line. He was the son of Mr W Fisher of the West Coast.
