He registered for military service in 1943 and was a member of the U.S. Army, Company C, 37th Engineer Combat Battalion.

On June 5, 2024, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced that they had identified Private Andrews' remains and more than 80 years after his death, Private Andrews' remains would be returning home to Gravette, where he will be laid to rest alongside his parents.
