He was born in Hennepin, Minnesota in 1912. The portion of his family related to me is from the surrounding areas of Ulricehamn Kommun in Västra Götaland, Sweden. He is related to Sigrid Nilsson-Lundgren (deceased) and Sigurd Nilsson (deceased) his first cousins. Sigrid Lundgren is the mother of Hans Lundgren, my father. It appears he went to High School at Denfeld High School in Minnesota and later married to an unknown spouse. After 15 months of military service, he was killed in action.

He was a private in the 5th Armored Division when he was Killed in Action in Germany.

Companies A en B, 46th Armored Infantry Battalion, were moved to the high ground just West of Kreuzau and the 34th Tank Battalion (less Co A) went into position in the vicinity of Gey. Company A, 34th Tank Battalion, at this time was operating with the 331st Regimental Combat Team whose mission was to hold Kufferath. During the afternoon CCB consolidated its position and established contact with adjacent units. Defensive positions were improved so as to repel any enemy counter-attacks during the night.
Private Anderson enlisted on 13 September 1943 at Ft. Snelling, Minnesota. He was married.
