Codebreakers receive lottery funding

Jean Valentine stands in front of a 'Bombe' decoding machine that she worked on at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire during the Second World War. Former codebreakers at Bletchley Park are among the groups welcoming the new 7.3 million Lottery funding scheme 'Home Front Recall', which will fund activities by groups of home front workers commemorating their vital contribution through the years of the Second World War, on the 60th anniversary of the conflict's end. The funding is expected to allow workers at Bletchley Park to receive medals to commemorate their contribution to the war effort. (Photo by Stefan Rousseau - PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images)
