Fromelle Statue in Melbourne28 viewsThomas Michael Carrucan, born 1892, was the eldest of the 6 children born to Michael and Margaret Carrucan of Kew and was thus one of the grand children of Peter Carrucan and Hannah Woods. He served in WWI and was in the battle of Fromelles, which occurred on 19-20 July 1916. This was perhaps the most harrowing battle ever undertaken by Australian soldiers.
