Specs Peterson

"Specs" Anderson was a US soldier who served in the Great War. He served on the Roanoke Front in Chester Martin's squad. A myopic, Anderson wore glasses--hence his nickname. He was not able to wear the glasses and goggles designed to protect his eyes from poison gas at the same time. Some expected Anderson to be a genial, easy-going sort, but he was in fact a very hardnosed and almost a ruthless soldier.
