Joyce Aylard (1925) was evacuated from London at the beginning of WWII and eventually joined the Women’s Royal Naval Service in 1943 where she was assigned to Eastcote. At Eastcote, she worked on breaking the Enigma code. Joyce said that it was top secret work and when she was finally able to talk about it in 1974, her parents had already passed away, but she was able to tell her brother about what she worked on.
