We were sent out of one small fort and had to dig ourselves in about 100 yards in advance of the fort, and it was whilst doing this that Charlie got hit; in fact, we had just received the order to get back to the fort, and he and I were making our way down a small ditch when he fell; his death was instantaneous, as he was shot in the head. Our ranks were, indeed, terribly thinned by that attack, but as we have been told by Gen. Anderson that it was our brigade who stopped the whole of the German line advancing, we feel very proud, and my deepest regret is that Charlie was not spared to share the honours; but you can all feel proud of him.

His captain wrote: “As his captain I knew him better than any other officer in the regiment, and next to his own people I don’t know who could feel his death more than I do, unless it be his men. He was always so good to them and thoughtful of their comfort. He was, indeed, a true type of British officer.”

He went through the Afghan War, 1878–80, first with the Kuram Field Force; took part in the reconnaissance of 28 Nov.; the assault and capture of Peiwar Kotal, passage of the Chappri Defile, the Khost Valley Expedition, action of Matoon; then with the Kabul Field Force; took part in the night attack on rearguard at Zahidabad, Battle of Charasiah (promoted Sergt.); pursuit to Asniai Heights, occupation of Kabul, actions at Doaba and Lataband, operations in and around Kabul in Dec. 1879, relief of Sherpur; action of Childukbteran; march from Kabul to relief of Kandahar, reconnaissance of 31 Aug. and battle of 1 Sept., and was awarded the medal with four clasps and the bronze star.

On the conclusion of that campaign his services were asked by Lord Kitchener and Sir Reginald Wingate for the Egyptian Army, and he was attached to it with the rank of Major in 1901.

He was made an Hon. Major in the British Army, 17 Oct. 1908, a Lieut.-Col. in the Egyptian Army, and created a Bey and decorated with the Imperial Ottoman Order of the Medjidieh. His period of services ended in 1911, but he was induced by Lord Kitchener to extend his service for three years, and before this was ended the European War had broken out. He volunteered to go to the Dardanelles, but was retained at his post in Cairo, and he died there on active service, 31 Aug. 1914. Anderson Bey was a great traveller and explorer, and had at one time or other penetrated to the outskirts of every province in the Soudan, inspecting, hunting, sketching and snap-shooting. Speaking Arabic fluently, his agreeable manners made him a welcome visitor, and “Assad Ahmar” (“The Red Lion”), as the Arabs called him, had many loyal friends among the desert tribes on the Nile. He was the author of “Seaforth Songs and Ballads” and “Lays of Strathbogie.”

Scylla, Sept. 1908, to May, 1911, he saw three revolutions—at Haiti, Nicaragua and Honduras—and was complimented on the wonderfully good health enjoyed by that ship’s company in the very trying West Indian climate. After the outbreak of war he served in H.M.S.

She left Tilbury Docks, London, just after Christmas, and was lost with all hands on or about 3 Feb. 1915.

He played cricket for the Navy on several occasions, and in July, 1914, at 37 years of age, gained the Silver Cup presented to the winner of the Officers’ Flat Race for the Queenstown Training Squadron.

ANDERTON, WILLIAM LYON, 2nd Lieut., 4th Battn. Duke of Wellington’s West Riding Regt.; elder s. of the Rev. William Edward Anderton, M.A., Congregational Minister, Woodford Green, Essex, by his wife, Ellen Anderton, dau. of John Tyrer, of Liverpool; b. Woodford Green, 17 Jan. 1885; educ. St. Aubyn’s School, Woodford Green, and Merchant Taylors’ School, where he gained his colours for both cricket and football, and afterwards became a Director of the firm of George Anderton & Son, Ltd., Cleckheaton, Yorkshire. On the declaration of war, he enlisted as a Private in the West Riding Regt., 10 Aug. 1914, and six months later (— Jan. 1915) was given a commission in his own regiment. He was shot by a sniper, while going his rounds as bombing officer, at 4.30 a.m. on 21 Aug. 1915, about two miles north of Ypres, on the eastern bank of the Yser Canal. Writing to his father, Brig.-Gen. E. Brereton, Commanding 147th Infantry Brigade, said: “I am able to send you the following particulars:—I left my headquarters at 4 a.m. yesterday morning on my round of inspection. There is one corner where one has to leave a trench and be in the open more or less for about six paces, and then enter the trench again. At about 4.30 a.m. I came to this bit, and as I turned into the open found a small party with Mr. Law, of the 6th Battn., with your poor son lying at their feet. They said: ‘For God’s sake jump in quick; they have sniped Mr. Anderton.’ I saw at a glance his case was hopeless, poor boy. He was not suffering; of that I am sure, for practically the bullet had, I should imagine, passed through or near the brain.... I then proceeded on my rounds, and about three-quarters of an hour afterwards passed back, and found he had been moved to a first-aid post about 200 yards along the trench. He was still breathing as I passed, but quite unconscious. He died shortly afterwards, I understand. He died doing his duty nobly. As you know, he was bombing officer to his battn. I knew him fairly well, and looked upon him as a very charming fellow, and an excellent officer.” Other letters from his Company Officers and comrades unite in speaking of him in the highest terms. Gen. E. M. Perceval, 49th West Riding Division, wrote: “Brig.-Gen. Brereton, who commands the 147th Brigade, told me that your son was one of his best officers, and I know that his brother officers and men were very fond of him.” Lieut.-Col. E. P. Chambers, Commanding 4th W.R. Regt.: “He was a most popular officer with the men, and everyone will feel his loss. Officers of his experience are most difficult to replace, and our Battalion is much the poorer by his death.” And Capt. W. F. Denning: “I was quite close to him when he was killed, at about 4.30 a.m., being caught by a sniper. He was shot in the head and never regained consciousness, and I am thankful to be able to assure you that he suffered no pain. We have been in perhaps the worst trench in the whole line, and have had a very hard and trying time, losing some good men, but I think poor Lyon’s death was the last straw. I buried him on the canal bank in the afternoon, and we have put a cross over his grave, which adjoins the graves of other soldiers. I’m afraid no words of mine can lessen your grief, but I should like you to know how much we all loved him, officers, N.C.O.’s, and men alike, and how terrible it feels to miss him.” He was unm. His cousin german, Major H. Lyon Anderton, 1/6th West Yorkshire Regt., was wounded while attached to and in command of the 11th West Yorkshire Regt., and is now (1916) on active service with the Expeditionary Force in France.

ANDREW, FREDERICK RUSSELL, Private, No. 51041, 16th Battn. (91st Canadian Scottish), Canadian Expeditionary Force, s. of Capt.

Owen Sound Public and Collegiate Schools. He had served as a Cadet in the Collegiate O.T.C., and later in 1903 in the 31st Grey Co. Regt., and after the outbreak of war enlisted at Victoria in Sept. 1914, and in Jan. 1915, was sent from the 30th Battn. with reinforcements to Princess Patricia’s L.I. He died 30 May, 1915, of shrapnel wounds received at the Battle of Festubert: unm. Lieut. H. A. Colquhoun wrote: “‘Happy,’ as he was called by the men, came through the fight in the Orchard, where he did exceedingly well, being very courageous and cool under the most trying fire. After this attack we were in reserve behind our former position. We were all out in the open when the Germans put six shrapnel shells among us. I managed to get to a dug-out with Capt. Morison, when Andrew came in wounded. I remember well he had some flesh wounds in the back, but one bad one in the left breast. At the time he was being bandaged up I tried to hold his head on my knee, but he seemed to want to get up and walk. He was a splendidly strong man, and we all thought he was quite safe; but I fear that shot in the left breast was worse than we thought. On making inquiries I find that he passed quietly away without pain about 30 May. He was a splendid chap.”

Harman, wrote: “He was a great class of man, the best of all the young officers we had; keen and able to handle men, and as gentle as a child, at the same time as hard as iron.” Another Adjutant of the 2nd Battn., to which he was attached, Capt. W. D. Murphy, said: “Andrews was most popular with both officers and men, and his death is a great loss to the Regiment. I might mention a few days previous to his death, your son was detailed for a particular ticklish duty, which he accomplished with great skill and credit, and it was a deed that would have stood him had he lived.”
