A Dundee woman who worked with Bletchley Park codebreakers during the Second World War has died at the age of 94.
Dorothy Smith, nee McLean, was born in Dundee and attended Downfield Primary School and Morgan Academy.
After leaving school she worked as a clerk at Dickies until, at the age of 21, she was called up to the Auxiliary Territorial Service in 1942.
During the war, Mrs Smith worked as an interception operator in one of the “Y” stations feeding Bletchley Park, where the Enigma code was broken.
There she worked as a special interceptions operator, responsible for listening to Nazi messages originating from Yugoslavia and then passing those of potential interest to Bletchley Park.
Despite the codebreakers’ key role in winning the war, interception operators and codebreakers were not formally recognised for their service until 2009.
Mrs Smith received a commemorative badge and a letter from then Prime Minister Gordon Brown thanking her for her wartime service.
In March 1945 she returned to Dundee, where she returned to work as a clerk.
The following year she got engaged to Tom Smith and the couple tied the knot in 1949.
They had one daughter, Shirley.
Mrs Smith was a member of Williamson Memorial Unitarian Church, where she played the organ and taught at its Sunday school.
She was also active in both the Women’s League and the wider Unitarian movement.
Mrs Smith was also a keen country dancer and a member of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society.
Predeceased by her husband Tom, she is survived by daughter Shirley.
