'Geoffrey Fisher made many friends during his time at Malvern. He was somewhat old for his years, with ideas and opinions unusual in a schoolboy, at the same time he was very keen in all things connected with his house. He was in British Columbia when war was declared, and at once enlisted in the British Columbia Horse, but finding the regiment was not being sent on active service, he obtained a commission in the 8th Sherwood Foresters. He joined his regiment in France in August, and died of wounds on October 25th.' (Malvernian, Dec 1915).
