Veterans of Bletchley Park Memorial

The Veterans of Bletchley Park Memorial is a monument in Milton Keynes honoring people who worked on secret code-breaking operations during World War II. It displays inscriptions and plaques that document the names and roles of this workforce.

The memorial emerged as recognition for personnel working at a remote estate during the war whose efforts remained classified for decades after 1945. Official dedication came after secrecy restrictions finally lifted, allowing public knowledge of this clandestine operation to surface.

The memorial honors people whose work remained hidden for decades before public recognition finally arrived. The inscriptions reflect gratitude toward personnel whose contributions went unacknowledged for much of their lives.

The memorial sits on the grounds of a larger museum complex and is accessible during regular opening hours. Visitors should check ahead to learn about current conditions and any access restrictions that may apply.

The inscription 'WE ALSO SERVED' captured the voice of people bound by lifelong secrecy about their work. These words summarized what thousands had achieved for decades while remaining completely silent about their roles.
