Gilbert William Anderson was born on July 21, 1924 in Chicago, Illinois to parents William H. Anderson and Gerda E. Carlson.
Gilbert Anderson enlisted in the U.S. Navy on July 2, 1943. He is listed as being an SK3, or Storekeeper Third Class.
Mr. Anderson died on June 14, 2002 in a Veteran’s Administration Hospital. He was interred at Hart Island on July 11, 2002.
I am happy to report that it seems that Mr. Gilbert William Anderson received the recognition and honor so deserved for this sacrifice and service to his country by being removed from Hart Island approximately five months after his burial there. The U.S. Veterans Gravesites, ca.1775-2006 database reports that On December 17, 2002 Gilbert William Anderson was interred at Calverton National Cemetery in proper acknowledgment and honor of a U.S. Veteran.
