• A new British Indian Army Memorial, commemorating the sacrifice of millions of Indian soldiers who fought alongside the British during the two World Wars, is to be built in Glasgow,Scotland. • The memorial initiative is being led by the Colourful Heritage multimedia project, which celebrates the history of Scotland’ s South Asian community, and is visualised as Scotland’ s first permanent memorial wall to recognise the service and sacrifice of over 4 million soldiers of the British Indian Army. • It is intended to honour the special link between Scotland and Force K6, an all- Muslim Punjabi regiment that escaped from Dunkirk during World War II, and made its way to Scotland.
