==Life==
Anderson was born in Dallas, Moray and raised and educated in Forres. He went to Glasgow and was employed as a car conductor with the Corporation Tramways for several years. He moved to Newcastle upon Tyne where an elder brother of the family was serving with the Yorkshire Regiment (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own) and enlisted in the same battalion in 1905, serving in it for a period of seven years in Egypt and India. After his service expired Anderson returned to Glasgow and was employed in the Elder Hospital in Govan. He had been there only for a year before deciding to emigrate to South Africa. However, before he could leave war broke out and he was called up as a reservist and went to the front in France with the British Expeditionary Force.
