2 Lancashire Fusiliers

Awarded on:

April 19th, 1940

Citation:
"For conspicuous gallantry, coolness, and initiative, while acting as a patrol leader on a night patrol, he saw an enemy patrol of superior strength. Dividing his patrol into two parties, he followed the enemy, and after a brisk action, rushed the enemy's position, killing five, and capturing one prisoner. The prisoner was successfully carried to our own lines, a distance of over 1 ,000 yards, despite the appearance of enemy reinforcements. Later, Captain Hudson guided another party back to the scene of action and collected and brought back a light machine gun and other weapons, which had been abandoned by the enemy."
