A HEARTFELT tribute to heroic Second World War Bletchley Park codebreaker Captain Jerry Roberts was paid by the former head of M16 at his London memorial service at St Martin-in-the-Fields last Wednesday. Sir John Scarlett, who is chairman of Bletchley Park Trust, hailed Jerry as embodying the "fighting spirit of 1944", and gave thanks on behalf of everyone at Bletchley for the tireless campaign he had conducted in the last five years of his life to raise awareness of pioneering fellow codebreakers Ralph Tester, Bill Tutte and Tommy Flowers, who helped to bring forward the Allied Victory. Jerry was one of four founder members of the Testery team tasked with decrypting Hitler's most secret commands after Tutte broke the Tunny cipher system. He and his colleagues saved millions of lives at critical junctures, such as the Battle of Kursk in Russia and on D-Day. For full story, see this week's Liphook Herald.
