keeping secrets: victorian worked with wartime hero alan turing

Most people have computers of the size in their bags.
Used as the kind of telephone, camera and video recorder.
\"We\'re three times as big as that shelf,\" she said, pointing to the floor --to-

Code of Practice for old Victorian residents
In early 1940, during World War II, a machine by British mathematician Alan Turing failed.
Turing\'s machine is often referred to as the basic prototype of the first computer and the central processor.
British Prime Minister Churchill believes Turing\'s password
As the biggest contributor to the timely Allied victory, break the wartime project.
The device is able to unlock the password created by the Nazi encryption machine.
Turing is the theme of a feature film \"imitation games\", which will be released in Canada on December.
British actor Cumberbatch starred.
The plot revolves around Turing\'s time-leading code-
Broken Things at Bletchley Park
Williams said she couldn\'t wait to see the film.
She was 17 years old and had just returned to England after finishing her studies in Ireland when she decided to take part in the war and volunteer to serve the Women\'s Royal Navy.
\"For reasons I don\'t know, I am considered appropriate to do highly confidential work on code,\" said Williams, daughter of a British officer serving in India.
After decades of secrecy, she was still shy about talking about her war work.
\"The idea of the government at that time was that the less we knew, the better.
\"We were told that we were writers and were in the office of the Secretary of the Navy,\" Williams said . \".
\"They said we would be standing all the time, noisy and responsible.
Williams was assigned to a Bletchley substation outside London instead of the famous mansion compound, where Turing adjusted his machine.
He will check the machine at the substation regularly.
\"Good morning, he will come in.
He\'s the most self.
\"Humble, humble people,\" Williams said, noting that as a teenager and a \"bottom-level person,\" she didn\'t interact much with him.
She said he was not prominent in other \"boffins --
English slang for a technical scientist or engineer.
\"He will wander around and ask if you have any questions,\" she said . \".
Williams is one of 10,000 yards.
Vandals of the Bletchley Park project. The majority —
Nearly 75-
Women recruited outside school
\"Almost everyone is in war, especially in our age group,\" Williams said . \".
According to the Official Secrets Act, the contribution of female code vandals to the war effort remained silent until the former soldiers began to speak in their 1970 s and Bletchley reunited in their 1990 s
But Williams said it was not easy to talk about the experience after such a long vow of silence.
\"A few years later, I met some [fellow code-breakers]here.
But when you are not allowed to talk about something, you develop the habit of not talking about it, \"she said.
Victoria\'s olive Bailey is also a code name.
She tells about her time at Bletchley Park in local libraries and groups.
Williams said the work required a combination of accuracy and monitoring.
They don\'t know exactly what they\'re doing, but want to know, \"Who would I risk if I made a mistake?
\"It was easy to find out that code vandals played a role in the Battle of the Atlantic, she said, because there was a lot of work going on at the time.
Williams worked at the substation from 1943 to 1945 and left before the end of the war, her first son was pregnant for nearly nine months.
She married an engineer in Quebec and later moved to Montreal.
They have four sons. Williams works in a mental hospital.
Health hospitals for rehabilitation treatment are being explored.
In early 1980, Williams separated from her husband, who moved to Victoria and soon became involved in community advocacy.
\"I have been involved in this community all my life.
I have always felt that as a person, it is my duty to do what I can, \"she said, recalling the situation of weaving socks for the Irish poor at a young age, holding variety shows at military hospitals during the war, and set up a Mentor Group in Victoria.
Her recent efforts are to help facilitate the public forum, held in downtown churches in early November, to discuss legal and human issues

Although Williams has seen the development of computers
She had to stand on the tip from the machine
The rise of access to personal computers --
It is not a lifelong interest.
\"I just use email,\" Williams said . \"
She\'s a great tech. grandchildren.
She is interested in the level of online sharing in the world today.
\"I am shocked by the fact that there is such a widespread violation of private information right now,\" she said . \".
\"I can\'t help but think if something like [a world war]
Once again, how will the government keep a secret?
