Secret war heroes' honours
THOUSANDS of surviving codebreakers who cracked the German Enigma codes during the Second World War are in line to receive service medals.
The Government's secret communications centre, the GCHQ, is said to be finalising plans to formally honour up to 5,000 codebreakers and other members of staff who worked at Bletchley Park and its outlying stations around the world.
Medal designs have already been confirmed.
Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, also known as Station X, was the UK's main decryption establishment during the Second World War.
