After serving 14 years in the British Royal Navy followed by thirteen years in the Royal Canadian Air Force, Mr. Irons devoted considerable time to his local branch of The Royal Canadian Legion. He was appointed as the Branch Service Officer and also undertook responsibility for visiting Veterans either in hospital or in their homes. The following list underscores his commitment to Veterans: Mr. Irons is a Past Zone Commander of The Royal Canadian Legion for Vancouver City Zone; he regularly transports Brock Fahrni Veterans to church on Sunday; Sergeant-at-Arms and Cadet Liaison Officer for the Billy Bishop Legion Branch; founding member of the Veterans' Commemorative Association; member of the Commemoration Observance Committee of Vancouver; member of the Vancouver Naval Veterans's Association and member of Submariners of Canada (West) Association. While his commitment to Veterans is extensive, Mr. Irons will readily respond to any request for assistance from his Legion Branch or from individual Veterans.
