Шаблон:Infobox military person Doksim Mihailović (Шаблон:Lang-sr; 20 February 1883 – 24 October 1912) was a Macedonian Serb voivode (military commander), originally a teacher, who joined the Serbian Chetnik Organization to fight in Ottoman Macedonia, and then the Balkan Wars (in the army of the Kingdom of Serbia). Originally a teacher, he fought against the Ottomans army and later Bulgarian guerrilla bands in the Kosovo Vilayet.

Life

Doksim was born in Galičnik, a Mijak village.[1] He finished the theological school in Prizren, and was a teacher in his home region until 1904,[2] when he joined the Serbian Chetnik Organization. In January 1905, vojvoda Gligor Sokolović sent Stefan Nedić-Ćela from Babuna to Vranje to bring new Chetniks and Doksim.[3]

He was one of many teachers who were voivodes.[4] He participated in the Battle of Čelopek (1905), which had been glorified as a great victory.[2] In 1906 he lost his teacher wage.[5]

After the guerrilla war, he went to Mount Athos, where he worked as the estate manager of the Hilandar.[2] He returned to Macedonia and married, then worked as a principal at Serbian schools in Gevgelija.[2] After that, he went to Greece and Malta and worked in trade; Doksim spoke Greek and Turkish since youth, and later taught himself Arabic and Italian.[2]

When the First Balkan War started, he immediately took up arms and founded his own band, and joined vojvoda Vojin Popović-Vuk, at the front of the Serbian Army.[2] Prior to the start of the First Balkan War, Chetniks gathered in Vranje from several regions: 160 in Vranje and 30 on the Kozjak with the voivodes Babunski, Ćela, Dolgač, Trpko, Dane, Vanđel, Doksim and Cakić; there were also 60 Chetniks which readied for Poreče, led by Vojvoda Vuk.[2] These bands were the first to have crossed the border, cleaned the ground, built bridges and prepared important positions such as Kozjak, Stracin, and others.[2] Doksim fought the Ottomans at Kozjak.[2] The bands were also accompanied by armed peasants, thus numbering four groups of around 250 men.[2] The Chetniks were the first to enter Prilep, then fought in the front lines in the battles for Bitola and Kičevo.[2] Doksim died on the second day of the battle of Kumanovo.[2] He was buried on a hill above the village of Mlado Nagoričane.[2]
