Andrew fought with the 31st Illinois Regiment during the Civil War. He enlisted on October 7, 1862 and saw action during all of the major battles of the Vicksburg Campaign. After the fall of Vicksburg, he reenlisted and participated in the battle for Atlanta. He was wounded at the Battle of Legget's Hill when a Confederate bullet struck him in the chest. The bullet hit a brass plate on his cartridge box strap and he was not seriously injured. He rejoined his regiment a few days later and participated in Sherman's March to the Sea. He was present when Johnson's army surrendered at Bentonville, which effectively ended the American civil War. He mustered out as a corporal on July 19, 1865.
