One of four siblings (David, Walter, Irene and William) who served in WWII, Aircraftwoman Irene Veronica Fisher (Service No:110885) served in the WAAAF - mustered as SQA - with 6 and 4 RAAF Hospitals (Staff) from 1 November 1943 to 15 August 1945.

Irene was born in Sunbury, Victoria in 1923, fourth of nine children of Alfred (Alf) Joseph Fisher (b1892 in Narrandera, New South Wales) and Veronica Ellen Falvey (b1899 at Riddells Creek in Victoria). Alf was a Labourer in 1917 when he enlisted in the AIF (Private; Service No:794) on 16 April 1917, and was in Sunbury in Victoria on 29 September 1917 when he and Veronica married. Following his Discharge from the Army, Alf and Veronica settled in Sunbury where they raised their family and Alf worked as a Labourer and later as a Mental Asylum Attendant.
