Josip Broz Tito inspects 1st Proletarian Brigade. Next to him are: Ivan Ribar, Koča Popović, Filip Kljajić, Ivo Lola Ribar, Danilo Lekić and Mijalko Todorović.
In early July 1943, the 1st Proletarian Brigade, with Kljajić serving as their political commissar (since 21 December 1941[3]), attempted to liberate the occupied Bosnian town Zvornik from the Wehrmacht and the troops of the Axispuppet state, the Independent State of Croatia. During the withdrawal Kljajić died of an accidental gunshot wound, on a hill on the outskirts of Zvornik.[4] His body was taken to the Bosniak village of Liplje, on a mountain near Zvornik and buried. Kljajić's body was later taken from that spot by his family and reburied in a family plot elsewhere. A memorial was erected on the spot where his body was originally buried. Following the ethnic cleansing of Liplje in 1992 at the start of the Bosnian War, the memorial suffered and became overgrown with shrubbery.
Kljajić's family suffered several losses during World War II. His wife Đurđelina Dinić (born 9 November 1914) was killed 25 May 1943. Filip's brother-in-law and nephew were killed in 1941. On 22 January 1943, Filip's niece Milanka (born 1924), also a Partisan, was killed.
