Koporan Čauš
Trajko Mitrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Трајко Митровић; fl. 1904–12), known by his nom de guerre Koporan Čauš (Копоран Чауш), was a Serbian Chetnik vojvoda (commander). He was born in Orlanci near Kičevo.[1] At first, he was a member of the IMRO, however, as many others, left that organization in the summer of 1904 and left for Serbia.[1] He received his nickname after killing a çavuş, and wearing his bloody koporan (cape) afterwards.[2] He participated in the victory at Čelopek (1905).[3] He was wounded in his right hand fingers.[4] He joined the Royal Serbian Army as a volunteer in the Balkan Wars and World War I.[5]
