Little is known about this man other than that he was an early arrival at Hickwells as a convalescent. The first arrivals to the home came on 26th March 1915 and Private Ferguson’s entry in Nurse Oliver’s album is dated less than a month after that. It reads:
April
5363 Pte W Ferguson
3rd Border Regt M
Shoeburyness Ay
He shares this page in the album with entries from 19740 Private Joseph Leigh of the 3rd Border Regiment, W Wallace of the 1st Border Regiment and 50082 Driver James Gilbert of the Royal Field Artillery.
Nothing further is known about this man and I have been unable to find a medal index card for him.
