The monthly diocesan magazine shows that Hodgson was a strong supporter of World War I. In October, 1916, he wrote "We have taken up arms on behalf of righteousness, truth and liberty; we look in the strenuous labours of the campaign, to moral and spiritual forces for support and final victory".[11] In October, 1917, he wrote, showing no change to his view despite losing a son on 1 July 1916, "... no weakening of moral purpose and moral indignation; right and wrong, falsehood and truth stand where they stood in August, 1914, and we must stand by them still, however hard or horrible the conditions".[citation needed] The diocesan magazines are filled with reports from parishes supporting the War effort. For example, it was reported in December, 1914, that £6 had been raised in a house-to-house collection in Cockfield for soldiers blankets, that Barrow had 100 men on active service, and that a YMCA tent had been erected on the green at Beyton.[citation needed]
Hodgson was regarded as a decidedly local bishop and not a national figure.[9] He died suddenly on 28 February 1921. There is a memorial to him at St Edmundsbury Cathedral.[12]
