I believe that Lieutenant-Colonel Hodson's father was also a regimental officer: Major Vernon Hodson (Link) |

As a WW 2 R C R. I had the pleasure of serving under Col Hodson. He was a good leader and sincerely cared for those he worked with. He was very respected as an Individual as well as a soldier. He was a mans man.
Sorry to hear of his passing. He served his country and his regiment with Honor May god Bless him.
