On behalf of Her Majesty's Government, GCHQ is delighted to recognise the vital service of those who worked at
Bletchley Park and its outstations during World War II, by presenting surviving veterans with a commemorative badge.
Those who served at Bletchley and are sadly no longer alive are currently listed in a register held and maintained by the Bletchley Park Trust. Although we cannot issue commemorative badges in respect of those who have died, GCHQ will support the Trust by preparing a properly bound copy of this register to be held at Bletchley Park, and by maintaining an on-line copy of it.
