"Tommy Andrew was my best mate in Oranjemund; he was like a father figure to me over there. A gentleman and a scholar…………. One of the nicest blokes I have met on all my travels. He came to stay with us in Preston , and I took him to Blackpool to visit our old friend from Oranjemund…….. Marty Johnson.
