DRAGOLJUB DRAGO KNE\u017dI\u0106, son of DU\u0160AN, born on October 30, 1922, in Mostar, a high school student, member of the League of Communist Youth (SKOJ) since 1940, and KPJ since 1941, active in the school, the neighborhood and the Boy Scouts. Performed courier tasks. In the Battalion since September 1941, he was a youth leader in the company and died in the village of Doli near Bile\u0107a on November 15, 1943, in a battle against the Chetniks. In the same clash, BORO BALA\u0106<\/a>, MUHAMED LJUBOVI\u0106<\/a>, a worker from Mostar, were also killed, and later E\u0160REFA BILI\u0106<\/a>, a worker from Mostar, was killed. During the war, Dragoljub’s older brother LUKA KNE\u017dI\u0106<\/a> also died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post-war article, he was described as “very combative and determined”, and that he “stood out for heroism”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the war, Drago Kne\u017ei\u0107’s name was recorded on a memorial plaque<\/a> in Mostar High School. The plaque disappeared without a trace during the war events of 1992-1995. One street in Mostar was named after brother Kne\u017ei\u0107.<\/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. 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.
