Major Anderson trained and commanded No. 6 Column until 2 March 1943, when he
became Brigade Major. He had not had any previous experience of staff work, but
the rapidity with which he grasped his duties and the vigour and intelligence
he displayed in their discharge won my admiration. At this juncture bad work
on the part of the new Bde. Maj. might well have jeopardised the safety of the
whole Brigade but from the time of taking over until the final dispersal of the
Brigade for the return march. Major Anderson never flagged or failed to give me
perfect satisfaction. Not physically strong, he wore himself out by continuous
and devoted application to his duties. His judgement was sound and of value to
me on many occasions. The excellent work done by this officer whose military
experience is of recent date is deserving of the highest praise and
recognition.

* During the attack on Longstop Hill, Tunisia, on 23rd April, 1943, Major
Anderson, as leading Company Commander, led the assault on the battalion's
first objective. Very heavy casualties were incurred, including the Commanding
Officer killed and all other Company Commanders killed or wounded. Major
Anderson re-organised the battalion, led the assault on the second objective,
and, despite a leg wound, captured Longstop Hill with a total force of only
four officers and less than forty other ranks. He personally led attacks on at
least three enemy machine-gun positions and in every case was the first man in
the enemy gun-pits. It is largely due to this officer's bravery and daring
that Longstop Hill was captured, and it was the inspiration of his example
that encouraged leaderless men to continue the advance.

an enemy first line trench. He endeavoured to struggle on, but progress was
impossible as one of his legs was broken. Nevertheless, although exposed to
heavy fire, he continued to direct and encourage the men.
