One of the last of Bletchley Park's quiet heroes, Betty Webb, dies at 101

Obituary of Betty Webb MBE (1910s–2025), a Bletchley Park codebreaker who served in the ATS and later WRAC, worked on organizing German intercepts, paraphrasing Japanese decrypts to protect sources, and was seconded to the Pentagon; after decades of secrecy under the Official Secrets Act, she later became a public advocate for Bletchley’s legacy, received honors including an MBE and France’s Légion d’Honneur, marked her 100th at Bletchley, publicly decried modern far-right symbolism, and has died at 101.
