Anderson is buried in Brompton Cemetery in London.^[1] His memorial is an unusual composition of cannonballs, one of which has disappeared. In 2018 the missing cannonballs have been replaced and the group has been added to. Three of the cannonballs are inscribed, individually bearing the words 'Beyrout', 'Gaza' and 'Syria'. The grave lies on the east side of the main path, midway between the north entrance and the colonnades.
