Vojin Popović, known as Vojvoda Vuk (Template:Lang-sr; 9 December 1881 – 29 November 1916) was a Serbian voivode (military commander), that fought for the Macedonian Serb Chetniks (i.e. komiti) in the struggle for Macedonia, and then the national army in the Balkan Wars and World War I.
Life
Vojin was born on 9 December 1881 at Sjenica, Kosovo Vilayet, Ottoman Empire (present-day southwestern Serbia). Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Kragujevac, where Vojin attended school. He chose a career in the military. On 3 November 1901, he became second lieutenant. He was among the first cheta (bands, 'čete') heading for Old Serbia, i.e. Makedonia (1905). He died at Gruniste on 29 November 1916 during World War I.[citation needed]
