Pvt. Ester Fitzsimmons enlisted in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) in 1944. She was attached to the Air Air Force and was one of twenty-nine Danish born WACs during the Second World War.
During the course of my research on Danish pilots and aircrew I have come across a number of people who turned out not to meet the criteria to be included on this site as Danish.
