On 23 January 1910, while still married to Catherine, Brennan wed Alice May Patton, with whom he had a child which died.[11] He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment.[12][13] Military serviceBrennan enlisted to serve in the Australian Imperial Force on 3 September 1915.[14] On his attestation paper he answered "no" to the question "Are you married?", which at some point was crossed out and replaced with "yes". Catherine was given as his next of kin, but resided at a different address.[15] He was sent to the battlegrounds of Europe with the 2nd General (Victorian) Reinforcements on 1 May 1918, aboard the HMAT Euripides A14, which embarked from Sydney.[16] Court-martialWhile in France, Brennan and a fellow soldier were arrested and put on trial after they forcibly entered an estaminet in Saint-Vaast, on the night of 29 October 1918.[17] He was found guilty of "committing an offence against the property of an inhabitant of the country in which he was serving".[18] He received a two-year sentence, which he served until it was suspended in June 1919 and he was returned to Australia.[19] MurderOn 12 September 1931, Brennan was shot dead outside his home in North Fitzroy by a burglar, who was trying to get into the residence of a neighbour, Norah Power.[20] The Brennan household, which consisted of Arthur and five of his sisters, had an arrangement with Power in that she would knock on the wall which divided their homes, if she was alone and in need of assistance.[20][21] That night, Power had been alarmed by the sound of someone trying to get through her window.[22] Brennan was in his kitchen and once he heard the signal walked across his garden to her home.[23] He confronted a man he saw standing on Power's verandah who attempted unsuccessfully to defuse the situation by claiming he was at the home to visit a friend.[24] When he tried to make his escape, Brennan blocked his path at the garden gate and the pair then grappled.[20] During the struggle, Brennan was shot in the chest by a small automatic pistol that the intruder had managed to draw from his overcoat with a free arm.[20] Brennan died there on the footpath within minutes.[25] The gunman was chased by two other bystanders but was able to get away.[26] Search for suspectAn investigation revealed that the gunman, likely aged 25 to 30, had earlier been seen scoping the area and were therefor able to get a good description of his appearance.[20][27] However police were unable to locate the suspect and after three months had to declare this to the City Coroner, who gave a finding that Brennan had been murdered by a "person unknown".[28][29] The case remained unsolved.[30] See also{{portal|Australian rules football|Biography|Victoria}}
