7/30/2019 Coding Letter to Canadian War Museum
1/2
Dr. Tim Coook, and, Dr. Jeffrey Noakes Canadian War Museum
Dear Dr. TimandDr. Jeff Noakes:We have been able to unravel
most, but, not all of the so-called "unbreakable" code of the
pigeon remains in theLondon house chimney from WW-2....and, its
"signal box".
Think you both can finish it....as there should be a copy of
Artillery Coding from WW-2 there at the War
Museum.And, you most likely would have a military map that would
show where "Sector K" is on the "D-Day" landingsarea.
The message is indeed breakable, not sure why the UK papers are
saying it isn't.
Here is what we have found so far.We have assumed that the"Z" is
the same as the WW-1 Artillery Code in which "Z" was
indicating"smoke shells" fired by batteries. ["Z" here could be
"batteries"].
And, Stott is using the WW-1spelling for Serjeant.....probably
his trainer and is using the exact same format asthat used in WW-1.
He is identifiying himself, and, then that this is the required
report.[Its a guess. A simple guess, but, suspect that he was
dropped about 5-6AM and reported to the UK that he wasdown and safe
with his pigeons. His next message with two pigeons would have been
about noon, and, nowthis is his afternoon report. He would get one
more off about supper-hour and, in an emergency situation onebefore
sundown.
