The strong possibility that Sergeant Hudson was on the Lancastria raises questions as to where he was in France, why he was not with the remains of the Battalion and how he came to embark on that vessel at St Nazaire.

			The DLI Roll of Honour indicates the date of death as 23/6/1940 - which was possibly when his body was recovered. War Office casualty list only shows 1940. CWGC shows 28/5/1940. If he was on the ship the correct date would be 17/6/1940 or slightly later.
