Andrew came home to the UK on a visit from Australia in the mid-sixties, and went 'missing' for a period, getting into the local Motherwell/Wishaw paper when he eventually 'surfaced' to visit his sister, Alice. He had been in hospital in England
One of Andrew's nieces recalled how he always brought presents for all the children when he came home to visit them from Australia, which were special treats for them and much looked forward to and enjoyed.
