He finished gymnasium in Belgrade and Šabac, after which he finished the Military Academy. He was among the first Chetniks who crossed the border. He participated in the Fight on Čelopek. He was brave, and popular, social with people. Brana and his friend Bogdan Hajnc were in the village of Petraljica, when Turks who had been tipped of their location surrounded them.
