S/Sgt. Robert Charles Fisher
British Army 26th Field Bakery Army Service Corps
from:London
My grandfather Robert Fisher served as a baker having enlisted in 1915 aged 30. His service was in Egypt, Syria and Palestine.
In 1919 he volunteered to remain in the army of occupation in Cairo. In January 1920 he suffered a cerebral thrombosis. He was treated at the hospital at Bellais and the Citadel Hospital, Cairo. He spent some time at Netley Hospital then returned home but my grandmother was unable to look after him as he was paralysed. He spent the remaining years of his life in St David's home in Ealing. Unable to communicate except by blinking, he enjoyed hearing the football results from one of the nurses as he was an ardent Arsenal supporter. He also loved cricket and was taken to Lords on a stretcher of some kind to watch a match. He died in 1927.
