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.”

Khost Valley Expedition, action of Matoon; then with the Kabul Field

Battles of Atbara and Khartoum, and was again mentioned in Despatches
[London Gazette, 30 Sept. 1898], and given the hon. rank of Capt. 16
Dec. 1898. 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 became
Director of Stores on the Headquarters Staff of the Egyptian Army in
1905, and his successful efforts in re-organisation and in matters of
armament and equipment were gratefully recognised by the Khedive and
Sirdar. 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

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.”

Hospital, Portsmouth. During his three years on H.M.S. 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. Royal Arthur--doing patrol
work in the North Sea--until Dec. 1914, when he went to the armed
merchantman Clan McNaughton, on the paying off of the Royal Arthur
(Cruiser), and was appointed Chief Medical Officer. She left Tilbury
Docks, London, just after Christmas, and was lost with all hands on

sportsman, and while serving in the Impregnable training ship, did a
great deal in working up the boys’ enthusiasm for manly sports and
exercises. He played cricket for the Navy on several occasions, and
in July, 1914, at 37 years of age, gained the Silver Cup presented

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.

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.”
