Mr Andrew seems to have been British, but he was repatriated in 1943 on ships that were suppposed to only be taking Americans and Canadians. Did he have his nationality changed?

I ask because my stepmother Betty (McGowan/Fitzgerald/Soo/Ellison/Williams) and her brother John were also repatriated at that time and were labelled Canadian on the passenger list. I would like to know how that happened when they were born in London and raised in Hong Kong.
