ANDERSON, Algeo Lloyd, Surgeon Captain, RCNVR, Senior Naval MO in UK

Issued: 16-Jun-1945, Canada Gazette

"This officer has been an outstanding member of the Royal Canadian Volunteer Reserve since 1924, having served as Senior Medical Officer in the Pacific, Canadian Northwest Atlantic and Newfoundland Commands. At present, Surgeon Captain Anderson is the Senior Canadian Naval Medical Officer in the United Kingdom. In 1941, Captain Anderson undertook the organization of the Medical services in Newfoundland, and through his energy, foresight and devotion to duty, he developed a very extensive medical organization of the highest calibre. During the period when the Battle of the Atlantic was at its height, his handling of various emergencies ashore, arising from the large number of survivors, was in keeping with the highest traditions of his profession and the Naval Service."
