About this video

Two 101-year-old Welsh women, who live just ten minutes apart and served as code breakers during the Second World War, have been telling the story of their crucial work to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.<br />Kath Morris and Gwenfron Picken (both aged 101) only found out recently that they had both worked at the secretive intelligence facility, Bletchley Park. <br />The veterans were part of a team decoding enemy communications, which helped shorten the war and saved many lives. Their work remained classified for decades after the war ended.<br />Kath from Neath and Gwenfron from Port Talbot got together at a local church to share memories of their time at Bletchley Park with each other and Eluned Morgan. <br />The celebration of their efforts during the war comes ahead of VE Day on May 8, which marked the end of World War Two in Europe after Germanyโ€™s unconditional surrender.<br />
