He was awarded the George Cross posthumously on 11 October 1974.[1] Born in Opotiki in the Bay of Plenty, where he attended Opotiki College, Hudson enlisted in the New Zealand Army on 24 May 1961. He served in Malaya, Borneo and Vietnam, serving with the New Zealand Special Air Service.[2] Sergeant Hudson was a drill instructor at Waiouru supervising a training exercise when an NCO accidentally armed a grenade he was about to throw. Hudson saw the soldier freeze, and immediately ordered him to throw it. The NCO was still unable to react so Hudson grasped his hand and tried to release the grenade, which exploded, killing both men.[1] Notes1. ^1 {{London Gazette|issue=46371|pages=8809–8809|date=11 October 1974}} 2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.armymuseum.co.nz/pdf/Hudson_BIO.pdf | title=Army Museum Bio | accessdate=March 18, 2013}} References
