1st Lt. Dorothy Ann Anderson . US Army Air Corps 313th Station Medical Group from Imogene, Iowa My mother was Dorothy A.Anderson 1st Lt in the Army Air Corps from November 22nd 1942 to April 19th 1944 she served in Alaska in the Aleution Islands.
She passed away in 1988, but I was told a few stories. There were pictures of a man she was always with and she looked so happy. Apparantly she was in love with this man. He was a pilot and went out one day on a mission and never returned. There are pictures of her an him leaning on a gerney which would be in the hospital but Im not certain which Island it is. It had an airplane runway and a hospital and I found one picture of a store called mountain view store.
I have several certificates, one of wich is to certify that Dorothy A. Anderson, Second LT # N 733082 , completed the training for Army nurses at Ft Rucker, Alabama. She also took a course at Randolf Field Texas and earned a diploma for Flight nurse with the Army Air Forces August 1, 1947,
and was discharged on May 31st, 1948.
Some of the pictures I have look like she was quite sad and I have to assume it was the loss of the man she cared about so much.

CPO. Edward John "Andy" Anderson . Royal Navy HMS Defiance III from Mary Tavy, Devon Edward Anderson was a ship's cook on board HMS Essex, during the First World War.
Before joining the Navy, he was employed in the mining industry in Mary Tavy, Devon. In this first term in the Navy, he had the distinction of being a champion breadmaker of the Mediterranean Fleet.
He re-joined the Navy in 1931 and is recorded in the 1939 Register as CPO Cook on HMS Defiance, the Navy's torpedo school near Saltash in Cornwall.
He was invalided out of the Navy during this period of service when some explosive substance was thrown into his galley stove. He was unable to use his right hand and subsequently learned to write left handed. I believe he made a full recovery. He died in 1956, cleaning the front step of his home in St Budeaux.

Pte. George William Anderson . British Army 2nd Battalion Seaforth Highlanders from London My Dad, George Anderson, was with the 2nd Seaforths at St Valery,51st Highland Division. He told me that at the surrender to the Germans in June 1940, the CO. Lt Col R.F.Nason spoke to the battalion and invited any man who wanted to escape to join an escape party being led by an officer. Otherwise, the battalion were going to be POW's for the duration. My old man volunteered and away they went through German lines. He had various adventures and close shaves with both Germans and French Nazi sympathisers, but the Maquis and the Resistance looked out for them and he made it back to the UK where he was sent up to Fort George to be an instructor to recruits. Not fancying that, or the 3 stripes that went with it, he applied to get back to active service, but to his disappointment was posted to the Service Corps near Swindon. After D Day he was back ashore in France and then Belgium and Germany until the War ended.
Pre-war he had been in India, Egypt and Palestine with the 1st Battalion and his Company Commander was the same R.F.Nason, only that time he was a Major.
I would be most interested to hear from any ex-51st HD sweats who might know a bit more about the escape,or who perhaps knew my Dad who died in 1996.

Pte. Harold Spencer "Andy" Anderson . US Army from Massachusetts My Dad, Harold Anderson was captured in Italy in 1944 and was at Stalag 11B in Hammerstein until it's liberation in 1945. I never got to speak with him about it much as he and my Mom divorced when I was 7 years old and I didn't reconnect with him until a year before he died at age 83, although at that time he did tell me he met Gen.Eisenhower after the camp was liberated. My Mom told me a couple of stories about his experiences when I was young, most notably about him being told to weed a garden and pulling up all of the plants instead. I just want to commemorate his experiences in the war and remember him for his service.

F/Sgt. John Albert Anderson . Royal Canadian Air Force 419 Sqd. from Canada. (d.4th Jul 1943)
|
Pte. John Anderson MID.. British Army 2nd Btn. Cameron Highlanders from Liverpool I knew very little about what my father John Anderson did in the War. He died in 1993 and he would not talk about his experiences. All I have managed to find out is that he was Mentioned in Dispatches in October 1945. I know he was also a POW in Campo PG60 and Stalag IV-C. It was at some stage reported to his parents that he was missing in action. He was awarded the Africa Star and I believe he fought in Tobruk before being taken POW. He brought back a strange plate with his name and service number. This could never be explained as it was such a strange item to be given. However, Stalag IV-C was a former porcelain factory so does look like he could well have made this himself. I am sure you can see why he never took this up as a future career.

Rfmn. John William Anderson . British Army 2nd Btn Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) from Gateshead (d.10th-31st May 1940) John Anderson was my Grandfather, my Mother's father, who died between the 10th and 31st of May 1940, the month before my Mother was born. He served with the Scottish Rifles 2nd Battalion in WW2.
We understand he was almost kicked out of the Army for enlisting under the name Foster. His correct surname was Anderson but he was raised by his Gran who was a Foster.
He is buried in Oosttaverne Wood Cemetery in Belgium, along with three other Cameronians.
