 | | THROSSELL, HUGO VIVIAN HOPE (1884-1933), soldier and farmer, was born on 26 October 1884 at Northam, Western Australia, youngest son of George Throssell [q.v.], storekeeper and later premier, and his wife Anne, nee Morrell. |
 | | Throssell was one of the leaders of the fourth and last line of attacking troops which was recalled after having advanced only a few yards. |
 | | Throssell and his men now retired behind another barricade further back just as a second attack began with bombs and an enemy charge across the open in front of the trench. |
