Many people have assisted me in several ways to tell this story. I have tried to mention all of them in the following remarks. I thank R.S. "Bob" Grant for permission to record his Second World War signal intelligence experiences. With- out the support of the "C&E Branch" this special edition would not exist, hence I thank the Branch executive for their approval to publish. Also, without the transcribing done by Shelley, and the outstanding typing effort by Sheila, Penny, Mary Anne, Thelma, Dorothy, and Flora this document would not have been possible. Mary G. of Wang helped. Mr. David Kealy formerly of National Defence Headquarters, Directorate of History, is thanked for his photographic support. The support and encouragement from Commander Hillaby, Majors Hooker and Pittarelli is acknowledged. Further, comments by R.H. Roy, Professor of Military & Strategic Studies at the University of Victoria were most welcome. Captain Barber, Messers Berthelet and Bernard are thanked for their graphic arts effort. Also, those in the Secretary of State Translation Bureau who arranged and assisted in the translation of the text are thanked for their efforts, while Colonel R.K. Martineau and Major J.A.R. Bourassa's quick revision of the French translation helped to achieve a final product. Lieutenant-Colonel Wethey's assistance in revision of the final text is appreciated. The encouragement of Dr. Alex Douglas, Director of History at National Defence Headquarters, is also recognized. The personnel of the Public Archives Canada helped in a most professional manner. The same is said for Lise Bailey of DG Info, the personnel of NDHQ ODDS who prepared the cover in addition to the layouts, and who could forget NDHQ DPSCU who arranged for the printing. Finally, my appreciation is extended to Lieutenant-General S.F. Clark, one of Canada's most distinguished soldiers, for his review of the manuscript and writing of the foreword.
