Description

Footnote: Oscar Cecil Andrews was born on May 9, 1894 in Brackley, Northamptonshire, England. He signed his CEF Attestation Paper as a Private (16857) with the 7th Infantry Battalion "1st British Columbia Regiment", on September 23, 1914 at Valcartier Camp, at the age of 20, naming his next-of-kin as his father, C.J. Andrews of London, England, stating that he belonged to an Active Militia (un-named), that he was Single and that his trade was that of Bank Clerk. It was noted during his medical examination that he had a birthmark on his left shoulder. The Battalion was raised in British Columbia and mobilized at Camp Valcartier, Quebec under the authority of P.C.O. 2067, August 6, 1914, sailing on October 3, 1914 from Quebec City, Quebec aboard the S.S. Ruthenia, with a strength of 47 officers and 1,176 other ranks, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel W. Hart-McHarg. He was transferred to the 6th Infantry Battalion at Larkhill on December 20, 1914, followed by a transfer to the 1st Canadian Divisional Cavalry in France on August 4, 1915. Andrews was admitted to No. 1 Field Ambulance on January 11, 1916 with a case of "diarrhoea" but returned to duty on the 13th. He was appointed a Cook with the 1st Divisional Canadian Cavalry on March 3, 1916 and attached to the 2nd Assistant Provost Marshal from March 25 to April 22, 1916, before rejoining his unit. In his records, it was noted that the 1st Divisional Canadian Cavalry was designated to form part of the future Canadian Corps Cavalry Regiment, on May 31, 1916. Andrews was admitted to No. 17 Casualty Clearing Station on July 12, 1916, transferred the same day and admitted to No. 25 General Hospital at Hardelot, where the doctor declared him to have "V.D.H." (Valvular Disease of the Heart), noting the "dilations of myocarchin & pericardial adhesions". He was transferred to Mont de Cats on July 14th, then transferred to No. 1 Convalescent Depot at Boulogne for a ten day stay, from July 16th to July 26th, before being discharged to Base Details at Le Havre on the 27th. However, the doctors decided to declare him "Unfit for Base Details". One month later, he arrived at the Canadian Base Depot, where he was officially designated Classified "C" (for Home Service in Canada only) by a Medical Board on August 26, 1916. At this point, he was transferred to the Canadian Casualty Assembly Centre at Folkestone, where the doctor noted his "neurasthenia" (mechanical weakness of the actual nerves). In the Proceedings of a Medical Board, dated August 27, 1916 at Folkestone, the doctor noted that Andrews had been in France for fifteen months when he had an accident with a horse. A subsequent visit to the County of London War Hospital, Epsom on September 26, 1916 revealed that he had a severe attack of nasal haemorrhage, caused by a small mass of adenoids. In the Proceedings of a Medical Board, dated October 24, 1916 at Epsom, the doctor noted that Andrews suffered from a case of "Shell Shock" incurred on June 23, 1916 and that the soldier "does not sleep well". In a another Proceedings of a Medical Board, dated October 12, 1917 at St. Martins Place, the doctor went on at length about Andrews' health, in regards to the horse accident and the battle incurred shell shock: "In France June 1915 - August 1916. Returned following a kick by a horse, which knocked him down causing no definite injury but along with (the) shell shock was the final cause for sending him back to England. He complains now that excitement & great exertion causes shortness of breath. Carrying a pack & bandolier gives him a feeling of distress and compression. Unable to do marches with full equipment in this account. No organic lesion. Slightly nervous - condition otherwise good." Andrews was attached to the Department of the General Auditor in London, from February 16 to September 18, 1917, then struck off strength upon return to the Canadian Reserve Cavalry Regiment, declared Category "A" (Unfit for General Service). He was posted to the Canadian Corps Regimental Depot at the Canadian Corps Reinforcement Camp on October 17th, then placed on command for a second time to the Department of the General Auditor in London, from October 30, 1917 to February 20, 1918. He was struck off strength to the General Depot for the purpose of demobilization, on January 21, 1919 and posted to the Canadian Corps Camp Rhyl, Military District No. 11 at Witley on February 9th, then posted to the Canadian Concentration Camp at Kinmel Park, North Wales for return to Canada. He left England aboard his His Majesty's Transport Belgic on February 23, 1919. Andrews received a medical examination at Victoria, British Columbia on March 17, 1919, in regards to his heart issues which started in July 1916. The doctor noted that he had been in hospital and at a convalescent camp until February 1917 but that he was "Now quite recovered, no disability". Andrews was taken on strength at Military District No. 11 Discharge Depot, at Hastings Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, on March 23, 1919 and was discharged upon demobilization on March 26th, entitled to wear the War Service Badge, Class "A", number 63733. For his First World War service, Andrews was awarded the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
