We lost few days ago Bash Maroun, who was during the 70s a popular Militia leader.
I was told he has been serving as much as possible the Christian regions of Dekwaneh and Ain el Remmaneh throughout the past years and was respected by all there and banners were spotted in Dekwaneh giving him a last salute and praising him after his death.

You can find below a picture of Bash Maroun and his men celebrating victory after invading the Tal El Zaatar camp.
Bash Maroun

Here is a small biography of Bash Maroun from articles i gathered long time ago:

Bash Maroun Khoury

Bash Maroun was the leader of the Lebanese Youth movement, and the son of the ex-leader of Dekwaneh region Naim el Khoury. He was also a good friend of Raymond Edde back then.
He was living in Dekwaneh during the 70s and had contacts within the Tal el Zaatar military leaderships ( Palestinians) and was trying to calm things on both fronts. However after the continuous harrasments done by Palestinians against Christians, he started preparing himself for a very fierce battle.

Bash Maroun played an crucial role in the Tal El Zaatar battle where as he held the Dekwaneh front bravely while the LF, Kataeb, Ahrar and GOTC were busy freeing other fronts, and indeed when they freed Karantina and Dbayyeh, they moved to Tal El Zaatar and launched an attack led by the men of Bash Maroun.
The battle was a fierce one and Bash Maroun guys showed great strengh and determination and took over the bastion of Ra3i el Sale7 in less than 48 hours, a bastion that was among the strongest for the Tal El Zaatar camp.

The Tal el Zaatar was a very important victory for the Christian militias, and was the turning point for them back then, even though they paid hundreds of martyrs during this battle due to the lack of organization and synchronization between most groups.
