It’s a matter of great pride and happiness for our colony that Lt Col Dev Raj Dogra D 321, celebrated his 101st birthday on 13th August ‘23. On behalf of us all we wish good health and good wishes on the occasion and a long healthy life.
Here is a very loving tribute paid by his son Maj Gen Vikram Dev Dogra AVSM at his birthday celebration last month:
It’s a matter of great happiness for us all that my father Lt Col Dev Raj Dogra, celebrated his 101 birthday yesterday, 13 August 2023. He has seen this world through its most difficult times ranging from World War 2, the partition of India where he with his family had to leave their ancestral home in Lahore Pakistan and come to India.
He joined the army and participated in the 1947-48 Kashmir war with Pakistan, the 1962 war with China, the 1965 war with Pakistan and then again, the 1971 War with Pakistan. He has led a life that was filled with adventure, and thrills. He was an avid sportsman and excelled at boxing and shooting.
He is and was my first idol and someone I always revered and wanted to be like. I can go on and on about him. Wishing him many more years of happiness. Dad you rock!
