Andrew Fisher was born in 1862. Australian politician and prime minister (1908-9, 1910-13, 1914-15). He emigrated to Queensland in 1885 from Scotland.

He was Australian Labor Party leader in 1907, then prime minister. At the start of World War 1 he made the dramatic promise to support the war effort 'to the last man and the last shilling'.
