Historic WWII Message Found

This is a great story and I wanted to share it with all of you!

This is an interesting story about using pigeons for messages in WWII. If a bomber crashed, they would have a pigeon to release giving the crash location. You will see the message and the pigeon's foot which was found recently in a chimney in Surrey The message is in code groups and is being decoded. 
It is seen on www.military.com. Code-breakers are working on figuring out this historic  message that has now been a secret for 70 years. It was found on the remains of a carrier pigeon that was discovered in a chimney, in , having been there for decades. It is thought the contents of the note, once decoded, could provide fresh information from World War II.
