Thanks for the clips..IIRC, Anderson also was the arranger for the famed Pops medley of the 5 military branch service songs that use to be a feature of most Pops concerts. I remember attending one in the 70’s..Fiedler conducting..and as each tune was played, everyone in the audience who had served in that particular branch would jump up and sing it loudly and proudly.

Although Anderson made many arrangements for the Boston Pops, the Service medley was not one of them. I have a copy of the Leroy Anderson reference book called “Leroy Anderson: A Bio-Bibliography. - Praeger Publishing, 2004” It lists all of the composer’s works - original compositions as well as arrangements. The Service medley is not there.
