Born at Plymouth, 12 April 1855, eldest son of Colonel Richard Anderson, of the 56th Essex Regiment and afterwards of the KLI, and his wife Eliza Harriet Outerbridge. He received his medical education at St Bartholomew's Hospital, and as soon as he had qualified, was appointed resident surgeon on 31 January 1877 at the Nottingham General Hospital. He remained in this post for thirteen years until he was appointed surgeon in 1889. At the time of his death he was senior surgeon to the General Hospital, senior surgeon to the Bagthorpe Military Hospital, and an ex-president of the Nottingham Medico-chirurgical Society. He retired from practice in August 1923 and lived thereafter at Boscombe, where he died on 28 July 1933 and was buried in Boscombe cemetery. He is described as an excellent surgeon, a sincere friend, and a bad enemy. Anderson married in 1890 Edith (d 1928), daughter of C E Tuck of St Giles, Norwich.
