English Heritage plaque in Maida Vale, London marking Turing's birthplace in 1912. Turing was born in Maida Vale, London, while his father, Julius Mathison Turing, was on leave from his position with the Indian Civil Service (ICS) of the British Raj government at Chatrapur, then in the Madras Presidency and presently in Odisha state, in India.
Jack Good UK, GC&CS, Bletchley Park worked with Alan Turing on the statistical approach to cryptanalysis. Nigel de Grey, UK, Room 40, played an important role in the decryption of the Zimmermann Telegram during World War I. Dillwyn Knox, UK, Room 40 and GC&CS, broke commercial Enigma cipher as used by the Abwehr (German military intelligence).

Clarke and Turing had been close friends since soon after they met, and continued to be until Turing's death in 1954. They shared many hobbies and had similar personalities. [1] They became very good friends at Bletchley Park. Turing arranged their shifts so they could work together, and they also spent much of their free time together.
Alan Mathison Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was a mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist.He was influential in the development of computer science and providing a formalisation of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, playing a significant role in the creation of the modern computer.
A biography published by the Royal Society shortly after Turing's death, [3] while his wartime work was still subject to the Official Secrets Act, recorded: . Three remarkable papers written just before the war, on three diverse mathematical subjects, show the quality of the work that might have been produced if he had settled down to work on some big problem at that critical time.
