So long, Matthew Fisher, Canada’s most-travelled warco
Story by Stephen J. Thorne
He could be blunt, bombastic and cringingly irreverent. He was also smart, generous, and always, always interesting.
Like virtually all of the most talented, committed and absorbing people I’ve known, Matthew Fisher was a human full of quirks and contradictions. He died in Ottawa on April 10 after a short battle with liver disease. He was 66.
In 1915, Canadian troops moved to the Ypres Salient in Belgium. The Germans wanted very much to get rid of the bulge into their territory, and used a new weapon hoping to dislodge British, Canadian and French troops.
