| Summary: | There is no John Brennan listed as a causualty during the War of Independence. [Perhaps he escaped execution, being saved by the signing of the truce on 9th July 1921, four months after arrangements were first made for his court martial?]. A "J. Brennan" is recorded as being one of Michael Collins' "Twelve Apostles". Major [later Lieutenant Colonel] James Clymo Milton, O.B.E. was posted for service on the General Headquarters Staff in Ireland as Provost Marshal, responsible for military discipline and the prosecution of captured rebels. |
