He was born in 1888 in [[Grays, Essex]], and came to New Zealand in 1905. <ref>Cotter Medical History Trust, a.k.a. Cotter Medical History Museum https://ift.tt/2BS0GRh>.
He came to [[Queenstown, New Zealand|Queenstown]] in 1920 and remained for thirty years as the sole medical practitioner and for twenty-seven years as superintendent of Wakatipu Hospital until his retirement in 1950. He responded to medical requests across the district.
He wrote a popular memoir, Doctor in the Mountains, which described the true story of a doctor working in the 'rugged and enormous "parish" of the Lake Wakatipu district, taking difficult journeys to treat injured or sick patients, despite limited medical and surgical resources.
On his first Saturday night as locum for Doctor William Watt he was summoned to the Royal Oak Hotel in Arrowtown to treat Mr Smith, one of the last residents of Macetown, who had been badly hurt driving from Macetown by buggy. The buggy and two horses had gone off the Macetown Road into the Arrow River. After his studies were completed in Dunedin, it was not only Doctor Stewart's now vacant practice that drew Bill Anderson back to the Wakatipu, in Queenstown he had met a young lady, Mary Lee (Molly), whom he married in June of 1920.
Dr Anderson lived with his wife Molly in a villa on Stanley Street, which stood until 2016. His daughter Professor Joan Mary (Jan) Anderson was a leading researcher into the understanding of photosynthesis. <ref>Royal Society Publishing https://ift.tt/33aLJWs>
He was also the first president of the Queenstown and District Historical Society, and sub-centre chairman of the St John Ambulance Queenstown and a St John divisional superintendent.
In 1970, his 50 years' voluntary service was honored when he was made an Officer of the Most Venerable Order of St John.
He died in 1978, aged 90.<ref>Roxburgh T, 31 May 2016. Park name to honour early doctor's service.
