E133 - Honouring Our Veterans
Listen now
Description
January 2022  The Podcast Team wish all our listeners a Very Happy New Year and how better to start it than with some great news.  With over 13,500 names so far, The Bletchley Park Roll of Honour aims to list all those who worked in signals intelligence for the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries during the Second World War. As no single list of the personnel of Bletchley Park and its outstations was ever produced, the Roll of Honour has been compiled from information in official sources, publications and, most importantly, that provided by the Veterans themselves, their former colleagues and families. In this episode, Podcast Producer Mark Cotton sits down with Oral History Officer Jonathan Byrne to talk about the online return of this vital research tool, what it contains and how Veterans and their families can help us to continue adding to it. He also updates us on the Oral History Project and shares some highlights from recordings made in 2021. The Bletchley Park Roll of Honour can be found at: https://bletchleypark.org.uk/roll-of-honour/  This episode features the following contributors from our Oral History Archive: Sheila Wilson Eric Coles Lola Marsden Image: ©Bletchley Park Trust 2022 #BPark, #Bletchleypark, #WW2, #OralHistory
