At least they didn't do to her what they did to Turing, without whom the war would certainly have been lost.

Good for her

The post war treatment of Alan Turing is a national disgrace, he was chemically castrated for being a homosexual, even now there is no monument to a man who was one of our greatest WW2 heroes.

Have you taken your Nan back to Bletchley Park? I have heard it is a superb day out.

The story of Station X is really interesting I bet your nan has some great stories, turing was a genious.

I'm glad she has some recognition.

Not that I want to belittle a man of Alan Turing's stature, or question where a monument to this man is placed, but was the irony intentional that Sackville Park in Manchester is frequented by Homosexuals?

Anyway, congrats and thanks to gran Tatters, I honestly believe that the uneducated amongst our society really don't appreciate what ladies like her did to protect our country and way of life!

Congrats to your nan!

Also Alan Turing has a building named after him at the University of Manchester. As he was there during 1948, tis a shame what they did to him but he is being recognised although not enough!
