His brother Pte Cecil Benjamin Thorne (No 501) was also killed in action 6^th January 1917 and is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France.

Rev. G. H. Judd of Waratah had the sad duty of breaking to Mr. J. H.Thorne the news that his son, Private Hubert ('Ginger') Thorne, had been killed in action in France. This is the second son of Mr. Thorne who has given his all for King and country and the sympathy of everyone is freely given to the bereaved family.
