"On 6 April 1943 on the Wadi Akarit, Tunisia,
when a company of The East Yorkshire Regiment had to withdraw
temporarily behind the crest of a hill, Private Anderson, a
stretcher-bearer, went forward alone through heavy fire to rescue the
wounded. Three times he brought in wounded comrades, and was rendering
first aid to a fourth when he was mortally wounded."
From Pvt. Eric Anderson's Victoria Cross citation, awarded in 1943.
An nod to a brave man who helped his fellow comrades in the fight to rid our world of fascism,
Brian
