The MM was awarded for gallantry in action against the enemy, It may be worth looking at the relevant war dairies

22 Battalion Durham Light Infantry (Pioneers) Date range: 01 June 1916 - 31 July 1918 is listed

He's on the CWGC website.

This shows his parents as William & M J Hodgson of 21 Alice St, Ryhope Villiage

His Army Service Record is on Ancestry and this is his entry on the CWGC site:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/military_chat/thread/1338300?jump=1338300

The service record has 36 images, so I am afraid that is too much for me to send you - if you don't have Ancestry perhaps you could access it at your library?

Edit: whoops - posted the wrong link - Chris has posted the correct one below.

I am trying to find out more information about this person who I have discovered in my family history. All I know about him, at present is that he was born in Ryhope (near Sunderland), County Durham in the second quarter of 1894 and he died in 1917. I have found the record of his death on Genes Reunited forces records and at the time of his death he was an Acting Corporal in the Durham Light Infantry.
