Milivoje Dinić

Milivoje Dinić also Miloje Dinić (Serbian Cyrillic: Миливоје Динић; 1887-1918) was a Serbian voivode of Preševo during the Macedonian Struggle, the Balkan Wars and the Great War.[1][2]His older brother Dragoljub M. Dinić (1881-1966) was a Serbian general.

Today in Belgrade New Cemetery, better known as Novo groblje, on the same tomb there is also a memorial plaque for Dragoljub M. Dimić's younger brother Milivoje (1887-1918), who was a famous Chetnik officer and Duke of Preševo.

Milivoje, like his brother Dragoljub, participated in the Balkan Wars and First World War on the Balkan front during the breakthrough at Kajmakčalan. On 30 September 1918, he led the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Serbian Volunteer Division in the Battle of Kajmakčalan[3] , where the strategically highest points of the Macedonian front and the peak of Kajmakčalan (2521 m) were captured.

Milivoje Dinić managed to survive the breakthrough of the Macedonian front in the period from 15 to 18 September 1918, but was captured by Bulgarian troops, tortured, burned in a Polish oven, though his ashes and what was left unburned was later recovered by the Serbian army. His partial remains were buried in the allied cemetery Zeytinlik (row 108) in Thessaloniki.[4][5]
