First Balkan WarOther workMember of the Greek Parliament (1915-1917)Spyros Spyromilios (Greek: Σπύρος Σπυρομήλιος, 1864-1930) was a Greek Gendarmerie officer who took part in the Greek struggle for Macedonia and the Balkan Wars. He was born in Himara, in modern south coast Albania (Northern Epirus).
[edit] Life
In May 1905 he led one of the first armed groups to be assembled for the developing Macedonian Struggle. Adopting the nom de guerre "Athalis Bouas" or "Kapetan Bouas", he led his own group of 35 men in the region of Vermio in Ottoman-held Macedonia. He was however wounded in his leg within days, in an exchange of fire with pro-Bulgarian komitadjis, and was forced to go to Thessaloniki to be treated. By 1909 he had risen to the rank of Captain, anf took part in the Goudi military coup d'état.
At the outbreak of the First Balkan War in October 1912, he was at Corfu. There, he assembled a small corps of volunteers from his home region, augmented by 200 Cretan volunteers. On 5 November, his force landed and occupied his home town of Himara, facing no resistance. On November 28, when the Albanians declared their independence in Vlore and formed a provisional government, the Greek headquarters expected full scale attack in the area and ordered him to retreat. He rejected the order and remained in the region organizing the local defense.
When the Second Balkan War ended, a series of peace treaties and protocols awarded the area to the newly formed Albanian state and the Greek forces were ordered to evacuate the area. At 9 February 1914 Spyromilios refused to withdraw and declared the region’s autonomy and himself as captain of Himara. Himara became part of the Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus, proclaimed at February 28 in Gjirokastër.
At 1915 the Italian army entered the region. Spyromilios went to Greece and at the following elections became member of the Greek Parliament. In the next years he was involved in the Northern Epirus issue. At 1926 he was honorary discharged with the rank of Colonel.
