1744 Pte. Isaac Fisher British Army 250th Tunnelling Company Royal Engineers. from:26, Bright St. Bolton Isaac Fisher was my grandfather and was a miner who originated from Tipton in Staffordshire. Around the turn of the century he moved with his mother and father to Atherton in Greater Manchester. Prior to the Great War Isaac was married and had my father in 1908, but his wife died in 1911. Throughout his army career, so his war records tell us, he was frequently reported as AWOL, I'm unsure if this was due to his responsibilities towards his son or not. He had two service numbers 265326 and 442540 we think the second number was when he was transfered to the 250th tunneling company. His records are not always clear to read but we think he was a casualty at Bethune. If anyone can help to decipher records it would be very much appreciated.
