In Memory of
JOHN THOMAS FERGUSON
Private, K/53802
Seaforth Highlanders of Canada
who died 24 age
21 July 1943

Remembered with honour
AGIRA WAR CEMETERY, SICILY




Born 7 Mag 1919, Southampton, Southampton Unitary Authority, Hampshire, England;
Son of John T. and Lillian Ferguson;
Enlisted on the 24th of June 1940 in Vancouver.

John most likely served in C-Company of the Seaforths. They were in the field South of Leonforte when they were under heavy machine gun fire. The Germans had well dug in in Leonforte and fired on the advancing Seaforths. C-Company at that time was the only one forward company, the rest were in support. From a high ridge the Seaforths were causing much damage to the Germans by sniping and firing their Brenguns. On their turn the Germans also sniped on the Seaforths. Casualties at that time were light and it is most likely that John was killed during these actions.
John lived in Burnaby, British Columbia with his mother, one brother and one sister. His brother Alex also served overseas.
