Ahmed Ademović

Ahmed Ademović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ахмед Адемовић) was a Serbian trumpeter who received Karageorge's Star for his involvement in the Battle of Kumanovo of the First Balkan War in 1912 which Serbia fought against the Ottoman Empire. He was of Romani origin, from the city of Leskovac. The Battle of Kumanovo started 50 km earlier than the Serbian troops expected as the better prepared Ottomans surprised them. Ademović reached the opponents' part of the plain and got behind them, where he sounded for retirement and got the Turkish lines confused, and starting to retire. As fast as he could, he ran back to the Serbian troops and sounded for attack. Ahmed's cleverness made him one of the heroes of the battle, finally won by the Serbs.
