  • Following the Battle of Sarantaporo, the bulk of the Greek Army marched north along the Aegean coast towards Thessaloniki, while the 5th Infantry Division was detached to advance towards Monastir (modern Bitola). While advancing however, the division was caught at unawares near Banitsa (modern Vevi) by an attack of the Ottoman VI Corps (part of the Vardar Army with the 16th, 17th and 18th Nizamiye divisions), which was retreating following the battle of Prilep with the Serbs. The Greeks, surprised by the presence of the Ottoman Corps, isolated from the rest of Greek army and outnumbered by the now counterattacking Turks, fell back towards Sorovich (now Amyntaio), leaving Monastir to be eventually captured by the Serbs. The Greek Division suffering 168 dead, 196 wounded and 10 POWs. The Ottomans followed its retreat and launched another attack on 4 November which was initially fought off, but the next day the division was forced to withdraw further south, to Kozani. The battle is an evidence of the consequences of the lack of any coordination between the three Slav allies and Greece, during the First Balkan War.
