Lidder, Geetika

I Am a Soldier's Wife - New Delhi Roli Books 2025 - 212 p.

In one of her last messages to her husband, Toni on 8 December 2021, Geetika wrote: ‘I want to go to the Taj with you. Moonlit night.’ ‘Yes yes… let us do it first week next year,’ he replied almost an hour later, onboard a Mi-17V5 helicopter when the helicopter crashed near Coonoor. A decorated officer of 2 JAK RIF with ‘sharp military intellect’, Toni’s life was cut short, at only 52 years, just as he was set to take over a division in J&K, and his family was looking forward to spending more time together.
