Hasan A. DIZDAR 

HASAN DIZDAR, son of AVDIJA, born on June 15, 1911* in Mostar, locksmith. Joined the National Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments in the summer of 1944 in the 1st (Mostar) Battalion of the 13th Herzegovina Brigade. Fighter, killed on July 25, 1944, in the Battle of Trusina near Dabar.

On the day of Hasan’s death, it is recorded:

“The Nevesinje combat group launched a full-scale attack on July 25. The enemy was very persistent. Although he was repelled three times in the Glog sector, he reoccupied and held this important and dominant position before nightfall. Similarly, the positions of Straževica and Magunica, in the 13th Brigade sector, changed hands several times. By nightfall, the enemy managed to push the Operational Group of Brigades back to the Krstac—s. Radovanovića Torine—s. D. Lukavac—Val—Oštri vrh—V. Rankovac—Ostrvica—Omutić line. The Operational Group of Brigades had several soldiers killed and around ten wounded on this day, but the enemy’s losses of ’60 dead’ can be considered exaggerated. The Tenth Brigade had prepared an attack on the head of the Chetnik wedge in the Osmić-gomile—Krstače area for this day. The forces were once again insufficient (the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th battalions and the Sitnički detachment were engaged), and the attack itself started at different times, so after the unsuccessful attack, the battalions headed: the 2nd to Plana, and the 3rd and 4th battalions via the communication line to s. Lađeviće and s. Selište, while the Sitnički detachment headed towards s. Vlahovići. The brigade had 2 dead and 5 wounded, while the Chetniks had 3 dead and 9 wounded. The following fighters were killed in the battles: Hasan Dizdar and Muhamed Jugo (both from Mostar), and Ibro Ćuliman from s. Pješivac near Stolac, all three from the 1st Battalion of the 13th Brigade.”
