## Biography

Dimitrios Dalipis, son of Konstantinos, was born in the middle of the 19th century in [Gavros](/source/Korestia), in what was the [Monastir Vilayet](/source/Manastir_vilayet) of the [Ottoman Empire](/source/Ottoman_Empire), to a family of stock farmers. He was a [slavophone](/source/Slavic_speakers_in_Ottoman_Macedonia)[1] and his family's real last name was *Kechagias*. He took on the pseudonym "*Dalipis*" from the famous [klepht](/source/Klepht) and revolutionary Stefanos Dalipis, one of the leaders of the [1878 Macedonian rebellion](/source/1878_Macedonian_rebellion). He was one of the most powerful chieftains in Korestia fighting for the Greek side. He initially joined the [IMRO](/source/Internal_Macedonian_Revolutionary_Organization) during the [Ilinden Uprising](/source/Ilinden_Uprising). However, he later left the organisation when it turned against the Greek population. He entered the service of the [Hellenic Macedonian Committee](/source/Hellenic_Macedonian_Committee) where he initially cooperated with [Kottas Christou](/source/Kottas) and then with [Pavlos Melas](/source/Pavlos_Melas). After the latter's death in 1904, he cooperated consecutively with [Georgios Katechakis](/source/Georgios_Katechakis), [Efthymios Kaoudis](/source/Efthymios_Kaoudis) and [Ioannis Karavitis](/source/Ioannis_Karavitis). In 1905, he and Katechakis took part in the battle of [Zelovo](/source/Antartiko) with [Pavlos Kyrou](/source/Pavlos_Kyrou). In November of the same year, he cooperated with [Georgios Tsontos](/source/Georgios_Tsontos).

He was killed on 19 November 1906 in an engagement with the [Ottoman Army](/source/Ottoman_Army_(1861%E2%80%931922))[1][2] or in a Bulgarian ambush[3] in Zelovo, Florina, at *Asvou Rachi (The Badger's Back)*.

His son was [Anastasios Dalipis](/source/Anastasios_Dalipis), a colonel of the [Hellenic Army](/source/Hellenic_Army) who later served as deputy minister of Northern Greece in the [Dimitrios Maximos](/source/Dimitrios_Maximos) government, and member of [EEE](/source/National_Union_of_Greece).
