This is Milo Ferguson. He was the brother of my great grandmother, Clara Nichols.
Not much is known about him other than his attendance in the local church choir.
He was a Private during the war and died in 1943, presumably on the way overseas.
Below are a few photos of Milo with his brother Bernard and sisters Clara and Lucille.
Hopefully this will be helpful to someone here, and if not, I hope it was at least informative!
