Scotland’s only national memorial to the Indian Army personnel who served during the First and Second World Wars is taking shape at @kelvingroveartgalleryandmuseum in Glasgow.
It was fascinating to hear @colourfulheritagescot's plans and to visit the museum’s display, which shares the stories of servicemen from pre-Partition India, including Force K6, based in the Scottish Highlands.
I was joined by Glasgow’s Veterans Champion, Councillor Abdul Bostani; Charanjit Singh Sangha, the son of Naik (Corporal) Gian Singh VC; and David Boe, National Chairman of Legion Scotland.
An important memorial to service, sacrifice and a shared history.

An honour to attend the opening services for the Gardens of Remembrance in Glasgow and Edinburgh this weekend.
It was a moving opportunity to come together with the Lord Provost, Armed Forces, Emergency Services, Service Associations and military support organisations to remember those who gave their lives in service.
We will remember them.
