| Radlein Obituary | November 19 1944. Killed in action in Normandy in August 1944, Colin Cleverly Fergusson, Capt., R.A., (E), (Nugee's-Eason's, B, 1935-39). Small of stature, though tough and full of spirit, Colin Fergusson will be remembered chiefly for his prowess on the cricket field. He was awarded his first cap in 1938 and put up many a good score in 1939 as one of the opening pair. Later in the same season he played for the Young Amateurs of Surrey. He was no mean performer at other ball games, particularly squash and tennis, and had he been bigger would have made a good footballer. He was also a member of the boxing team, and his courage and determination were as conspicuous in the ring as anywhere. Because of those same qualities, "Jubilee" as he was affectionately known to a wide circle of friends, cannot fail to have been an inspiration to his men. |
