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 26^th March 1915 and Private Ferguson’s entry in Nurse Oliver’s album is dated less than a month after that.  It reads:

April

22/4/1915

5363 Pte W Ferguson

3rd Border Regt                                     M

Shoeburyness                                       Ay

Essex                                                   Sc

He shares this page in the album with entries from 19740 Private Joseph Leigh of the 3^rd Border Regiment, W Wallace of the 1^st 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.
