WW2 Naval Intelligence Office Jean Barker (Baroness Trumpington) Signed 12x8 inch Black and White Photo. Signed in black ink. Initially during World War II, Lady Trumpington was attached to Lloyd George's Sussex arable farm, where she worked on the land with his daughter, lodging with his then secretary/mistress and later wife Frances Stevenson. She recalled that Lloyd George used to find reasons to "measure her". She then worked in naval intelligence at Bletchley Park from October 1940, making use of her knowledge of the German language to crack naval codes. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £5.99, EU from £7.99, Rest of World from £9.99
