Milan Aleksić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милан Алексић), nicknamed Miša (Миша), known by his nom de guerre Marinko (Маринко), was a Serbian Chetnik active from 1905 to 1918.[1] He was born in Raška, at the time part of the Ottoman Empire.[1] He fled Ottoman tyranny to Kuršumlija, in the Kingdom of Serbia,[1] where he graduated from the Military Academy as a non-commissioned officer.[2] He joined the Serbian Chetnik Organization in 1905, fighting under Jovan Babunski and Gligor Sokolović in Poreč and on the Babuna against Bulgarian and Albanian bands.[1] He was an assistant of the Upper Staff of Panta Radosavljević-Dunavski, Nikola Janković-Kosovski and Pavle Blažarić as a non-commissioned officer. In 1908, he worked with Vojislav Tankosić in training volunteers in Bosnia.[1] He is regarded a hero in all wars between 1912 and 1918, during which he had the rank of lieutenant colonel.[1] He wore an Albanian costume during battle in order to confuse the enemy.[1] He died of exhaustion in Veliki Bečkerek (modern Zrenjanin), in Banat, on May 27, 1923.[1]
