History
Physician and surgeon Arthur Fisher was born in Woodstock, New Brunswick, where he attended the Carleton County Grammar School, graduating in 1905. He then received a medical degree and after the outbreak of World War I was appointed to the Royal Army Medical Corps as a lieutenant in 1915, becoming attached to the 58th Field Company Royal Engineers based in Calais, France. He also served with the 56th Field Ambulance and was temporary captain in France when he was killed by a shell while trying to find a suitable place for an advanced dressing station. He was posthumously awarded the Order of St. Sava, 5th class, conferred by the King of Serbia. His name appears of the Carleton County war memorial.
