The AHA is saddened to learn of the passing of Duncan Anderson MBE, military historian and head of war studies at Sandhurst Academy. Born in Brisbane in 1946, Anderson was a graduate of Brisbane Grammar and former student of the University of Queensland. He undertook further training in Canada and the UK before taking up a lectureship at Oxford Polytechnic, followed by a long tenure at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. In the context of 21st century warfare, and notwithstanding his reputation as a ‘maverick’, Duncan served as a founding academic mentor at the Iraqi Military Academy and later the Afghan National Army Officers’ Academy. His influential works in the field of military history include The Battle for Manila (with R. M. Connaughton and John Pimlott, 1995), The World at War, 1939-45 (1998), The Fall of the Reich (2000), The Falklands War 1982 (2002), Glass Warriors: The Camera at War (2005), The Eastern Front (2018). The AHA sends its condolences to Duncan’s friends, colleagues and loved ones, including his wife Christine Gerrard, professor of English Literature and interim principal of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.
