Biography
The sons of Everett and Eliza, Godfrey was the brother of Sergeant Jack Andrew. He married Nancy Clark in 1945. Known as “Wag” (Waggoner) he was also a farmer. The two brothers rented and later bought Grange Farm where the OB was built.
Competitions between the local Patrols in shooting and other skills took place at a quarry near Wellingore. On one occasion the Patrol took petrol coupons with them but no money for the return journey. Luckily Jack Andrew won the rifle sharp shooting, Tom Andrew won the rifle static target and Godfrey Andrew won the revolver competition.
