Later, when he had obtained four more men, he went forward again to the firing line and was killed while bringing his machine-gun into action under very heavy fire.

I want to point out here to our members that Fred Fisher (Andrew) is a very good friend of mine who I served with a long time ago...I thought it appropriate that a famous Canadian should be the 1000 th member...
