Biography
Christodoulou was born on 18 July 1863 in
Greco-Turkish War 1897.[2]
In the
Battle of Kresna he assumed command of the 1st Infantry Regiment following the death of the latter's commander, Col. F. Dialetis. He then returned to command his battalion for a few days, before assuming command of the entire 3rd Regiment, which he led during the last days of the Second Balkan War.[2]
In 1916, following the Bulgarian invasion of eastern Macedonia, he did not obey orders from Athens to surrender and joined with his men the "National Defence" in Thessaloniki and assumed command of the Serres Division, which he led to the front near Gevgeli in December 1916. He continued to command the division until 1918, when he was replaced due to illness. He retired on 24 April 1924.[2]
