Draft:Petar Dzamonja

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Petar Džamonja (Serbian Cyrillic: Петар Џамоња; Arbanas village, near Zadar, Dalmatia, first controlled by the Ottoman Empire and then relinquished to Austria-Hungary, now Croatia) was a teacher and a Serbian Chetnik freedom-fighter from Dalmatia who fought as a Chetnik in Vojislav Tankosić's detachment in the Balkan Wars and later perished in the early fighting in the World War I.

Petar Džamonja was born in a mixed Serbian and Arbanas village near Zadar called Arbanas in Dalmatia on 28 June 1893. He completed his education at the Teacher's College in Zadar in 1911 and then joined the Chetniks of voivode Vojislav Tankosić in the Macedonian Struggle shortly before the First Balkan War[1]. Later, he taught briefly at Crna Kala, near Kuševac and Sopišti in Skopskoa Crna Gora.

Petar Džamonja died as a Chetnik of Duke Vojislav Tankosić during the fighting on Tršćanski Vis, where his detachment lost 1/4 of its personnel.
