Our great thanks to one of our all-time favorite members of the Underground Bunker community for this Veteran’s Day remembrance.
A surprising Scientology connection….
As in previous years I write to pay tribute to my Uncle Graham, a Scotsman who began WWII serving with the British Norway Expeditionary Force and ended it with Operation Husky, the Allied landings in Sicily.
To my surprise I’ve discovered details of another Scotsman, also taking part in those two events; a Scotsman that would eventually become Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard’s flagship, the Apollo.
