Son Patrick 1915 enlisted in the AIF 11th Battalion and served at Gallipoli. He was discharged after 13 months for disciplinary reasons and returned to WA. He re-enlisted in the 44th Battalion on 20th November 1916 and once again served overseas. He gave his brothers James and Robert as his next of kin. He returned to WA on 8th October 1919 and was discharged on 28th December 1919. While overseas he married Lydia Heath at St George’s Hanover Square London on 15th July 1919.
There are many newspaper accounts of different members of the Fannon family being arrested for drunkenness, obscene language and in Patrick’s case of living on the proceeds of prostitution. When Martin was arrested in 1909 the report said he was almost completely deaf and dumb, although another account said he suffered from extreme deafness and a speech impediment.
