WWII code breaker buried in Nebraska with UK military honors

This undated Watters family photo via the Omaha World-Herald shows Col. John Watters and his wife, Jean Watters, on their wedding day. Jean Watters was buried Monday, Sept. 24, 2018, in Nebraska with British military honors for a secret that she held for decades: her World War II service as a codebreaker of German intelligence communications. The tribute honored Watters for her role decoding for a top-secret military program led by British mathematician Alan Turing, who was the subject of the 2014 Oscar-winning film, "The Imitation Game ." She was 18 when she enlisted in the Women's Royal Naval Service. She and her husband retired to the U.S. in 1969.
