WWII Veteran Mervin Fisher shares journey of combat and survival

As veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War age, capturing their first-hand accounts on the record becomes increasingly vital. This Remembrance Day, Emily Hwang visited the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre to hear directly from those who served, including Second World War veteran Mervin Fisher, who enlisted at 17 and fought active combat in the Netherlands before being captured and taken to Stalag XI-B a prisoner-of-war camp in eastern Germany in 1945.
