Lieutenant-Commander R.N.R. John Anderson, (7 February, 1852 – 7 September, 1934) served in the Royal Naval Reserve.
I think several men are being confused here. I have commented out some content on men other than the person engaged in minesweeping in the Great War.
Life & Career
Anderson was made Lieutenant R.N.R. on 15 December, 1914.[1]
Anderson was trained in paddle minesweepers in early 1916.[2]
Lingfield collided with the paddle minesweeper Chelmsford on 4 November 1917 and Anderson was told to be more careful in future.[3]

Oddly, Anderson was removed from command of Lingfield after he'd broken windows at Dover in some act of misconduct, perhaps c 11 May 1918. The police were involved.[5]
