Lieutenant John Maurice Haig Fisher, R.N. (21 December, 1891 – 1 November, 1914) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

The son of Major J. Fisher, 2nd P. W. O. Ghurkas.

Fisher was promoted to the rank of Sub-Lieutenant on 30 September, 1911.[1]

Fisher's modest passion for his duty repeatedly failed to impress Captain Arthur Noel Loxley during an appointment to the battlecruiser Inflexible in early 1913.[2]

Nonetheless, Fisher was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 September, 1913.[3]

Fisher was appointed to the armoured cruiser Good Hope for the Test Mobilisation, and died in her when she was lost in the Battle of Coronel on 1 November, 1914.[4]
