Hugo Throssell

SOURCES AND FURTHER READING: This story draws on Hugo Throssell’s service dossier NAA: B2455, THROSSELL HUGO VIVIAN HOPE; his repatriation records NAA: K60, C5723 and NAA: PP6441/1, M5273; and reports by postwar intelligence agencies on both Hugo and his wife NAA: A6119/42 and NAA: A6119 vols. 1–7. The authors have also drawn on a detailed survey of contemporary newspaper reports; C.E.W. Bean, The Story of Anzac, vol. 11 (Sydney: Angus and Robertson, 1924) and autobiographical accounts by Hugo Throssell’s family, namely Katharine Susannah Prichard, Child of the Hurricane (Sydney: Angus and Robertson, 1963) and Ric Throssell, My Father’s Son (Melbourne: William Heinemann Australia, 1989). For the most recent biography of Throssell’s life see John Hamilton, The Price of Valour (Sydney: Pan Macmillan, 2012) and for the most nuanced reading of his death, Pat Jalland, ‘A Private and Secular Grief’, History Australia, vol. 2, no. 2, 2005, pp. 42–57. For work on Katharine Susannah Prichard see Pam Portman and Sally Clarke, Katharine Susannah Prichard: Her Place (Western Australia: Gooseberry Hill Press/Katharine Susannah Prichard Foundation, 2010). Note also Prichard’s semi-autobiographical account, Intimate Strangers (Sydney: Angus and Robertson, 1937). The authors would also like to acknowledge the kind assistance of Peta Alderman, Manager of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Western Australia, and Julie Wells.
