If you're a Dads Army fan and can remember a few lines then you have a hint to one of his medals.. 'a wild and lonely place.. nothing but -- and ---... So they made them up in ---!' Not sure if anyone will figure that line out (due to the character using it many times) but still. Zidane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed. “As a Senior Signal Officer with the AEF during World War I, Colonel Hitt oversaw the compilation of a highly effective code that replaced an awkwardly translated French coding system that was being used by American forces. He also supervised units that intercepted sensitive German communications with impressive results.” https://www.nsa.gov/History/Cryptologic-History/Historical-Figures/Historical-Figures-View/Article/1621575/colonel-parker-hitt/ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01611194.2022.2101404 Edited 21 January , 2023 by Uncle George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkley remembers Posted 21 January , 2023 Share Posted 21 January , 2023 Several US cryptologists seem to have made studies of Shakespeare's works and the theory that the plays had been written by Bacon. I rather like the response of Henry Stimson; when presented with information about a broken code he replied "gentlemen don't read other peoples mail".
