WRNS Celebrating D-Day 80th Anniversary this year

We had the great pleasure of hosting seven WWII Wrens to celebrate the 80th anniversary of D-Day on 6 June. Their incredible stories will be aired on a TV programme later this year.

First formed in 1917 for the First World War, the WRNS was disbanded in 1919, and then revived in 1939 at the beginning of the Second World War. They remained active until integrated into the Royal Navy in 1993. Wrens were prominent as support staff at the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park and were the direct operators used to break Axis codes and cyphers.
