This is the perfect timing to enter the insurance industry.
War and fires have caused capital to lose confidence in the insurance industry, which means Shire's competitors are fewer, making it easier to acquire insurance companies and spend less money.
Additionally, Shire can justifiably raise the price of insurance premiums: high risk warrants high premiums.
On the other hand, during periods of ongoing currency devaluation, people generally believe that buying insurance is more cost-effective, otherwise the money will disappear into thin air if kept in hand.
More importantly, Shire's foresight; he knows where is safe and where is dangerous. For example, Verdun, he certainly wouldn't start business there, but he can freely take orders in Paris, as the Germans won't occupy Paris until decades later.
