Hristopulos Vasil
Vasil was born in the village Kalevishta, Kostur region in 1912. He
was among the first to join the ELAS fighters and he fought bravely
and decisively against the German and Italian fascists as well as against
their servants.
In DAG he was again among the first to join and took part in many battles
on Vich and Gramos and rose to the rank of captain. In 1948 in the great
battles on Gramos and in a battle in Gupata, near to Kotel peak, when
his unit was attacking the enemy, he threw himself with self sacrifice
into the enemy machine gun fire, taking it on himself. The attack was
successful but the captain was lost.
