When I was very young I took my uncles for granted, and it never occurred to me that everyone else in the world was not like them.'

Dillwyn, 'Dilly', a Cambridge Greek scholar, was the first to crack the Enigma code and in so doing, is estimated to have shortened the Second World War by six months.
