Friends,
I am searching for more biographical details for Major R. Anderson of the British Indian Army, who served in Malaya in 1941 - 1942 with III Indian Corps. In mid-January he was liaison officer between the Corps and Westforce HQ, the organization within Malaya Command responsible for defense of western Johore. As acting Brigade Major of 45th Indian Brigade, he participated in the fighting withdrawal from Bakri to Parit Sulong between 20 - 22 January 1942, but can find no mention of him escaping capture, becoming a casualty or having been taken prisoner.
Please share any information concerning this officer (starting with his given name) and career either in this space or off line. Many thanks.
Cheers!
