Speakers:
In Conversation with Bletchley Park Veterans: We are honoured to be joined by former Bletchley Park staff members Betty Webb, MBE, and Ruth Bourne. As members of the ATS and WRNS respectively, Betty and Ruth’s work during the 1940s played a crucial role in the Intelligence operation that flourished at Bletchley Park. In this session they will share their memories and answer questions from the audience about their experiences of being part of one of Britain’s best kept wartime secrets. Please note that the inclusion of this session is subject to the health and well-being of the Veterans on the day of the event and may be subject to change at short notice.
