“In collaboration with the water from Spiljani, the detachment carried out an attack on Vrdolje on the morning of January 22, 1942. The harsh mountain morning, with temperatures dropping below minus 25 degrees Celsius, froze the hands and feet of the men, rifles, machine guns, and cast doubt on the execution of the combat mission. Neither the incursion of the ten-man unit into the upper part of the village nor the capture of Mile Pa\u0111en and Alija Novali\u0107, the milicemen, improved the condition of the semi-lifeless formation around the village, where the militiamen, with reinforcements received the day before the attack, had entrenched themselves in warm houses. As we retreated, we suffered heavy losses. Vaso Ga\u0161i\u0107 and \u010cedo \u0106e\u0107ez were killed, and Ilija Kuljanin, Rade \u0160inik, Omer Buljuba\u0161i\u0107, Mile Serdarevi\u0107, and Drago Sokni\u0107 from the Igmanska Unit were wounded (\u2026)” *Providing protection for the retreat of the ten-man unit from the houses our fighters had entered was done by Boro Radan<\/a>, Branko Ga\u0161i\u0107, and Bo\u017eo \u0160koro from a house where they disarmed two militiamen upon entering. In the end, they took the rifles of the disarmed militiamen and withdrew under fire.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" VASILIJE VASO GA\u0160I\u0106, son of RISTO, born on January 1, 1913, in Ba\u0107evi\u0107i near Mostar, a farmer.

Until the formation of the 13th Herzegovina Brigade in May 1944, 827 fighters passed through the Battalion, and 445 of them perished, including 211 from Mostar. Of the 86 women, 43 were killed. Mostar residents also fought in many other units of the NOVJ (People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia) and among the ranks of the activists of the National Liberation War in Mostar and other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina... According to the records of the organization SUBNOR Mostar, every third citizen was an activist of the National Liberation War, 670 fighters were killed, 1517 were victims of fascist terror, and 206 were civilian war victims. D\u017eemil \u0160arac, article \"Sa Mostarcima\" (\"With the People from Mostar\"), Hercegovina No. 9, p. 221.\r\n\r\n\"And we were all young. Those of us who were 17, 18 years old, some seemed old even though they were not older than 25. The ones over 30 were rare. There were girls and boys with different characteristics and temperaments, robust and calm, talkative and silent, recklessly brave and rational, ordinary and above-average, semi-literate and university-educated, workers and highly skilled craftsmen, high school students and university students, skilled singers and those who couldn't carry a tune, jokers and serious-minded individuals. From all our nations and religions: Muslims, Croats, Serbs, Jews, Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and semi-atheists. Some were from straight from Mostar and others from the surrounding locations, from Konjic and outside Konjic.\" (Hercegovina Magazine No. 7, p. 238)\r\n\r\nGroups of new fighters arrived from Mostar every 10-15 days, and the Unit quickly grew into a solid military force. The guides for the groups from Mostar were Mehmed Arap, Vasa Maslo, Serif Buri\u0107, Husa Orman, Vojo Ivani\u0161evi\u0107, and Pero Krajina, who were among the bravest and most resourceful fighters. The groups regularly brought not only weapons but also medical supplies, sugar for the hospital, writing materials, large quantities of paper, books taken from the National Library (which formed the library at Borci), and other supplies for the needs of the Unit.
