Capt Raymond "Jerry" Roberts Capt Roberts described the intelligence his 
team gathered as "gold dust"

Raymond "Jerry" Roberts - one of the last of a top World War Two 
code-breaking team at Bletchley Park - has died, aged 93, following a 
short illness.

Captain Roberts, from Liphook in Hampshire, was part of a group that 
cracked the German High Command's Tunny code at the British listening 
post.

Their decrypts made it possible to read Hitler's own messages during the 
war.

The team is credited with helping to shorten the war by at least two 
years..../snip/
