Two Ontario women who were sent to Britain during the Second World War to support a top secret codebreaking team have reunited after almost 70 years.
The work of codebreakers at the British facility in Bletchley Park has gained prominence recently thanks to the Oscar-nominated film The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Nancy Lynn and Jean Powell met this week at Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, more than half a century after they provided round-the-clock support for the codebreakers in the U.K.
