The first to be killed at Stringybark Creek, Thomas too left behind a widow, his beloved Maria who also had great community support and like Bridget, also received the first "legacy pension".
Thomas McIntrye was the sole survivor of the Mansfield Party, only joining the party at the last moment replacement for Sadlier.
McIntrye would go on to be a key witness in the trial of Ned Kelly, but would retire from the police soon after due to ill health, the symptoms modern medicine knows all too well as post traumatic stress disorder.
Matt is a graduate of the Screenwise Acting Academy in Sydney and has been making a genuine name for himself as an actor and film maker in the years since.
