Colourful Heritage is seeking planning permission from Glasgow City Council to create the memorial next to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
The memorial would have sandstone columns and a dome, matching the museum, with memorials to represent all faiths and interactive elements for stories, pictures and videos.

It will also promote the special link between Scotland and Force K6, the all-Muslim Punjabi regiment that escaped from Dunkirk and made its way to Scotland.
The final aim of the memorial would be to promote the values of selfless dedication and respect, noting that Isobel Harling BEM looked after the Force K6 graves in Kingussie for more than 70 years.
