A signwriter from Clifton Hill, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Andrews embarked with the 20th Reinforcements, 24th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Nestor on 21 November 1917. Later suffering from dysentery he was evacuated to hospital. Following his recovery he rejoined his unit and was wounded in action. Following the Armistice he was granted leave to remain in England to study signwriting and returned to Australia on 7 September 1919.
