	First World War.com - Who's Who - John Fisher
		Admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher (1841-1920), often referred to as the greatest Royal Navy Admiral since Nelson, returned to office as First Sea Lord for a short period before his dramatic resignation over the conduct of the Gallipoli affair led to Winston Churchill's banishment to the political wilderness.

		Admiral John Fisher died at the age of 79 in London on 10 July 1920.
