IN
LOVING MEMORY OF
CHRISTOPHER ANTHONY ROWLANDSON HODGSON
CAPTAIN 3RD BATT. ROYAL WARWICKSHIRE REGT.
KILLED IN ACTION AT FLEURBAIX, FRANCE.
18TH DEC. 1914 AGED 41.
ERECTED BY HIS WIFE, BROTHER AND SISTERS.
SEMPER CONSTANS.
Extract
from THE BOND OF SACRIFICE VOLUME 1 published by Naval
& Military Press, page 189:
CAPTAIN
CHRISTOPHER ANTONY ROWLANDSON HODGSON, 3rd BATTN. THE ROYAL WARWICKSHIRE
REGT., was the son of Arthur Pemberton Hodgson, I.C.S.,
and was born in 1873. He was educated at Worcester College, Oxford.
He joined the 3rd Battalion (then the 5th) Warwickshire Regiment
in December, 1899, being promoted Lieuten ant in July, 1900, and
becoming Captain in March, 1001. During his service he qualified
at the School of Musketry, obtained a certificate in A.S.C. duties,
and was attached to the Regular Forces, obtaining a satisfactory
report for the rank of Field Officer.
In the South African War Captain Hodgson served with the Remount
Department before 1901. After being invalided home he returned there
in the same year with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, remaining
till 1902. For his services he received the Queen's medal with four
clasps. In the Great War he was with a Regular battalion when killed
on the 18th December, 1914, near Fleurbaix (district of Armentières).
The following account of his death was given by an officer who was
near him at the time : "He went out in front of everyone, with
a wire-cutter in each hand, and cut away through that zone of hell
that lies between the two lines of trenches. He was not killed until
he had got right up to the German trench, but his work was done,
and the way was clear. So far as I can hear, he never said anything—he
just went and did it, though he knew full well that nothing could
save him, and that he would be dead in ten minutes. His name deserves
to be written for ever on the Roll of Heroes."
Captain Hodgson married, in 1913, Miss "Alec" Hely, daughter
of C. Wisdom Hely, Esq., of Dublin. He left no family. |
