For today’s Geo Quiz we asked you to identify where Britain’s code breaking operations were based during the Second World War, and the English county where a dead carrier pigeon was discovered with a coded message attached to its leg bone.

The code breakers were based in Bletchley Park and the pigeon with the coded message was found in Surrey, England.

The World’s Andrea Crossan has more about the mystery of the dead pigeon and the WWII code.


Have a crack at the code yourself
