British WWII code-breaker 'Betty' Webb dies aged 101


A member of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), Webb went on to paraphrase intercepted Japanese messages at The Pentagon in the United States in aid of the American war effort in the Pacific. "Betty was not only a member of the incredible team at Bletchley Park during World War II, but she also dedicated much of her life to raising the profile of Bletchley Park in more recent years," Bletchley Park said in a statement. "Her tireless efforts in bringing the history of Bletchley Park to a wider audience, through sharing the stories of those who worked here, helped ensure that the vital role of Bletchley Park during World War II, and its impact on the conflict, was recognized."
