@ Bruce, All,

With regards,

“This is the story of the British SLUs (Special Liaison Units)”

In many ways it’s likely to be wrong 😉 Such was the need for security those involved were given “cover stories, whilst others invented their own ideas.

One official cover was as part of the “Paymasters” one invented was that their job was to distribute “The senior officers whisky ration”.

What is known is that lowly “Other Ranks”(OR’s) in effect “out ranked” even the most senior of officers.

Sadly the real “boots on the ground” stories are now in effect “nolonger known”. Because even with the publishing of the 1970’s F W Winterbotham book “The Utra Secret” those who had been in the SLU’s remained “The geese that delivered the golden eggs and never cackled”.
