'Wounded in August 1944, while serving in Normandy with the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards, TONY DODGSON served his time in hospitals at Bath and Haywards Heath before entering Stoke Mandeville in August, 1945. Resident at Chaseley, Eastbourne, from October, 1947, he has been the Editor of The Cord since the middle of 1950, taking over from Pat Stewart, the original Editor and moving spirit of the magazine's foundation.'

'Tony Dodgson has resigned his editorial post. He has been actively concerned with this publication since its early days, first as assistant editor and finally becoming the editor in the summer of 1950. The lot of an editor is never an easy one, and more particularly so in his case, for his disability has frequently meant that issues have had to be produced from the confines of a bed.' (5)
