Lieutenant General John Murray Sanderson was born on 4 November 1940 in Geraldton, Western Australia. He attended Bunbury High School, Western Australian and the Royal Military College, Duntroon, ACT. He was commissioned as a lieutenant into the Royal Australian Engineers on 13 December 1961. He also completed a Fellowship Diploma in Civil Engineering at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He also has honorary Doctorate of Letters from Murdoch University and the University of Western Australia.
Sanderson's early career involved military training and construction that included a period in command of 10 Field Squadron. He was then posted to Sabah, Malaysia as Troop Commander and Construction Officer of 21 Construction Squadron. Having been promoted to captain in 1965, Sanderson spent 18 months on the staff of the Office of the Engineer in Chief before being posted in 1967 as the exchange instructor at the Royal School of Military Engineering in England. After two years in this post he returned to Australia as the commander of 23 Construction Squadron. In late 1970 he was given command of 17 Construction Squadron and posted to Vietnam.
In 1971 Sanderson was appointed Senior Instructor at the School of Military Engineering before beginning attendance at the Australian Staff College in 1973. Two years later, in 1975, Sanderson was promoted to lieutenant colonel. He returned to England in 1976 as the exchange instructor at the British Army Staff College. On returning to Australia in 1978 he took command of the 1st Field Engineer Regiment, holding that position from 1979 to 1980 before attending the Joint Services Staff College in 1981. He was also appointed as the Military Assistant to the Chief of the General Staff late that year before being promoted to colonel and appointed as Director of Army Plans in 1983.
In June 1985 Sanderson began a year long attendance at the United States Army War College before returning to Australia, having been promoted to brigadier. After a brief period chairing the Army Reserve Review Committee, he took command of the 1st Brigade. In 1989 Sanderson served as Chief of Staff, Land Command before being promoted to major general and appointed as Assistant Chief of Defence Policy. At the end of that year he was appointed Assistant Chief of Defence Force Development.
In October 1991 Sanderson's career again took him overseas, first as advisor to the Secretary General in the planning for the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia and then as the authority's military commander with the rank of lieutenant general. At the end of this posting, in October 1993, Sanderson returned home and was appointed as the first Commander Joint Forces Australia, holding this post until becoming Chief of the General Staff in June 1995. In June 1997 his title was changed to Chief of Army.
Sanderson served as Governor of Western Australia, 2000-2005. In 2006, the Western Australian government appointed Sanderson to the position of Special Adviser on Indigenous Affairs.
Sanderson's service to Australia has been recognised by the following awards: Member of the Order of Australia (1985), Officer of the Order (1991), Companion of the Order (1994), and Centenary Medal (2003); Legion of Merit - Commander Class (United States of America for his service to the region and the alliance).
