Excerpt from literature:
“When on December 12th (1944) the Brigade failed to capture the bridge in Glavatičevo, on the evening of the 13th, it decided to change direction. It started from Dramiševo, passing through Seljani, Grdača, Trešnjevica, and Ulog, and on December 15th, it broke through to Kalinovik with the main force. Its 3rd Battalion, passing through Kifino Selo with the Hospital and warehouses, bypassed Crvanj. Besides the two lost days, the Brigade had 4 fatalities (including squad leaders of the 4th Battalion, Dušan Petrović from Zagora near Trebinje and Milan Ninković from Jasen near Trebinje, as well as Ljubo Bekavac from Mostar, Vlado Čampara from Biograd near Nevesinje, and Svetozar Popara from Plane near Bileća, fighters of the 4th Battalion).”
