Eion Kenneth Ferguson - because of his Scottish ancestry, he was always known as 'Jock' from a young age - was born in Germiston, now a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa, on the 6th December 1922. During his boyhood he spent many hours on boats at a local lake and learnt to sail there. He became interested in sailing ships and began modelling them and this led to his other great passion in steam locomotives and railways in general. As a young man during the Second World War, Jock served with the South African Commonwealth forces, joining the Royal Artillery as a gunner (25 pounders). His service took him to North Africa and Italy - where he saw action in the savage Battle of Montecassino. Returning to South Africa, he resumed his education, graduating at the Rhodes University. At University, he was to meet his future wife, June, - whose family then lived in Kenya - and they married in Nairobi in 1949. Jock commenced his career as a physics teacher at a school in Nakuru, about 120 miles north-west of Nairobi, but was then recruited to the staff of the newly-built Duke of York School at Karen, just outside the Kenyan capital.
