Second world war Other lives Iris Warne obituary Iris Warne, who joined the ATS in 1942, organised regular reunions of wartime comrades that continued until the 1990sMy mother, Iris Warne, who has died aged 94, was one of the members of Y section at Shenley, Hertfordshire - they were the people who provided raw material during the second world war for the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, to decode. The comradeship that grew there outlasted the war, and Iris was one of the organisers of regular reunions until the 1990s. At the outbreak of war, she was evacuated with the Ministry of Agriculture to Saint Annes on Sea in Lancashire. After the war Iris married Alan Warne, whom she met at the Ministry of Agriculture, and became a very traditional housewife, working hard to make ends meet. Iris joined Amnesty International and was a very active member until her 80s.
