KEITH ANDERSON
A LAST TRIBUTE. (Australian Press Association) (United Service.) . SYDNEY, July 6. Every flag in- Mosman was at halfmast to-day on the occasion of Keith Anderson’s funeral. The body was lying in state yesterday in the Mosman Presbyterian Church. Anderson was accorded a full military funeral. An enormous crowd witnessed the interment at a special site on St. George’s Heights, overlooking the entrance of the harbour, given by the Mosman municipality. Representatives were present of the Navy, Aiiny and Air Force, and also of local and public bodies. Three motor hearses were filled with floral wreaths, which included cine from the All Blacks. Pathetic figures among mourners were Mrs Anderson, the deceased’s mother and Miss Hilliard, his fiancee. No funeral of recent years has stimulated such widespread 'sympathy and interest. Men and women were in tears at the church and at the graveside. A fi,ne wreath was. received-from the Southern Cross crow,' also a beautiful florid aeroplane from* John Oantor, who backed • Anderson’s rescue venture. ' '
