Abstract
In the early 1980s, Hugh Halliday, a former Curator of War Art at the Canadian War Museum, wrote an extensive account on Donald Anderson’s wartime career. It was based on research he uncovered following correspondence and conversations with the artist, whom he had recently located. The article was never published and exists in typewritten and hand-edited form in the Canadian War Museum’s (CWM) artist file for Anderson.1 The edits appear to be in response to Anderson’s own comments on the piece. This document forms the substance of this obituary for Canada’s last surviving Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) official Second World War artist. Resume : Au debut des annees 1980, Hugh Halliday, ancien conservateur d’art au Musee canadien de la guerre, redigea un imposant compte-rendu des annees de guerre de la carriere de Donald Anderson. Son essai s’appuyait sur la correspondance de l’artiste demeuree inedite et des entrevues qu’il avait eues avec lui et qu’il vient de retracer. Il n’a jamais ete publie : il se trouve, sous forme manuscrite et en version dactylographiee, dans le dossier d’Anderson conserve au MCG.1 Les annotations composent la substance de l’article necrologique sur le dernier survivant des peintres de guerre membres de l’Aviation royale du Canada durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. © Canadian Military History, Volume 19, Number 4, Autumn 2010, pp.50-56.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
