228728 William Fergus MM British Army Durham Light Infantry My uncle, William Fergus, served with the Durham Light Infantry on the Northwest Frontier (where he was awarded the MM) and then in Belgium and France in 1940. He was taken prisoner with others of the rearguard at Nieuport at the beginning of June. In the years that followed he made five escape attempts, finally succeeding in escaping from a camp in Poland towards the end of the war. He reached the Russian lines and walked to Odessa where the Americans and British had sent ships to repatriate POWs who had escaped to Russia.
