MUSTAFA KANJE, son of MUHAMED, born on April 18, 1910, in Mostar, a driver and a pre-war activist of the workers’ movement, joined the Battalion in early 1942. He was a fighter and was killed in Janjina near Konjic in April 1942 in the unit of Ante Zuani\u0107<\/a>. In the same battle where the ratio was almost 20 to one, Husnija Kanje<\/a> also lost his life.

There is a Kanjina street in Mostar, possibly named after members of this family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The column of militia and gendarmes, crossing the Neretva ford, surrounded the house in Janjina before dawn, where our unit was located. The battle began with a numerically superior enemy. The gendarmes and militia called on our fighters to surrender, and they responded with songs and gunfire whenever an enemy appeared. In that house, the following individuals were killed: HUSNIJA KANJE, a gardener, and MUSTAFA KANJE, a worker, both from Mostar.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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.

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.
