Description
A three-quarters portrait of Dougald Ferguson depicted as Sergeant, Machine Gun Company, 126th Infantry, 32nd Division. An oil painting on an illustration board. A white man, Sergeant Ferguson has brown hair, blue eyes, and a small brown moustache. He is wearing a brown tunic with his M1917 green helmet behind his back and a belt. The Distinguished Service Cross medal is pinned on his left chest. A collar insignia is seen, but it is not very detailed and difficult to discern what it is.
