Harold Percival Croydon "Duke" Tritton (1886-1965) was an Australian poet, folk singer and shearer. His best-known poem, The Sandy Hollow Line, described the hardships of unemployed workers who were given 'sustenance' or 'susso' work such as the construction the Sandy Hollow Maryvale Railway during the Great Depression. The poem was set to music by John Dengate and was subsequently recorded by local artists including Warren Fahey.
Tritton was an early member of the Sydney Bush Music Club, which formed in 1954. He assisted John Meredith in collecting old bush songs. His autobiography, Time Means Tucker, was published by The Bulletin in 1959. This publication was a great success and was re-printed numerous times.
