  • 2004: Mathematician and entomologist Peter Twinn born. During the Second World War, he will be the first professional mathematician recruited by the British Government Code and Cypher School. Twinn will also be first British cryptographer to read a German military Enigma message, having obtained vital information from Polish cryptanalysts in July 1939. Twinn will say that "It was a trifling exercise, but I repeat for the umpteenth time, no credit to me."
