Hedley Dixon joined the Home Guard and had a medical at Ashington late in 1940, though he has part of a finger missing, soon after he was asked to join the Auxiliary Units, he was the Patrol's best shot. He was the youngest member and said that he never knew what was going on, he just did what the older members said. He was the last of the Northumberland Auxiliers to die in 2010.
While in the Patrol they won the National Coleshill Shield for Fieldcraft and Shooting Skills (1942).
He went with the other members to the Isle of Wight and guarded the Pluto pipeline at Bembridge Fort in June 1944.
