Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps (Bulgarian: Македоно-одринско опълчение, Makedono-odrinsko opalchenie) was a volunteer corps of the Bulgarian Army during the Balkan Wars. It was formed on 23 September 1912 and consisted of Bulgarian volunteers from Macedonia and Thrace, regions still under Ottoman rule, and thus not subject to Bulgarian military service. Besides Bulgarians, the corps also included volunteers from other countries, including a whole Armenian company.
