Exile from Greece

In 1917 he left Greece with his brother, King Constantine, who had abdicated in favour of his son after unsuccessfully attempting to keep Greece neutral in World War I. After his brother was restored to the throne of Greece four years later, Andrew was given command of the Second Army Corps during the Battle of the Sakarya, which effectively stalemated the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922). Dissatisfaction with the progress of the war led to a coup d'état in 1922 during which Prince Andrew was arrested, court-martialled and found guilty of "disobeying an order" and "acting on his own initiative" during the battle the previous year. Although many defendants in the treason trials that followed the coup were shot[7], Andrew was banished for life and his family fled into exile aboard a British cruiser, HMS Calypso.[8] In 1930, the Prince published his own version of events in a book entitled Towards Disaster: The Greek Army in Asia Minor in 1921. In 1936, the sentence was quashed by emergency laws, which also restored land and annuities to the King.[9] Andrew returned to Greece for a brief visit that May.[10] 1917 (MCMXVII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar (see link for calendar) or a common year starting on Tuesday of the 13-day slower Julian calendar (see: 1917 Julian calendar). ...

During their time in exile the family became more and more dispersed, his daughters eventually settled in Germany separated from Andrew, and Philip wound up being taken care of by his relatives in the United Kingdom.
