At the beginning of the war in August 1914, the 1st Connaught Rangers battalion were in India as part of the Ferozepore Brigade, Lahore Division of the Indian Army which almost immediately set sail for Europe, landing at Marseilles on 26th September. However, some of the battalion stayed behind in India, including Joseph Fisher, who at 16 years of age, was too young to accompany the battalion to war. But this did not work in his favour. On 21 November, 1914 he died from a gunshot wound but further drtails are as yet unknown.
