Kasim S. GOLOŠ
KASIM GOLOŠ, son of SALKO, born on December 25, 1928, in Blagaj near Mostar. Shop assistant. He joined the People’s Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments of Yugoslavia on February 15, 1945, in the 11th Herzegovinian Brigade. Fighter, died in the battles for Ivan-sedlo.
EXCERPT FROM LITERATURE:
“The battles fought by the units of the Division from March 5 to March 8, 1945, certainly rank among the toughest and bloodiest of all the battles the Division fought during its nearly two-year-long war journey. The enemy’s persistence and the density of fire, the unfamiliarity with frontal clashes (in dense formations) and the natural environment, the lack of digging tools, the cold and frost on snow over 2 meters deep, as well as difficulties in supply (not a single hot meal could reach the positions), evacuating the wounded, and due to sleeplessness – were extremely harsh obstacles that the fighters faced. The significance of Ivan-sedlo as a key position, the intensity of events in a narrow area, and their dramatic nature led the fighters – once again – to try to surpass their own strength. In doing so, they demonstrated exceptional bravery, camaraderie, and solidarity.”
