- His intelligence was evident from an early age. Turing was born on 23 June 1912 in London. After Alan’s birth, his parents left him and his brother John in the care of foster parents while they returned to India for work.
- His ‘first love’ was Christopher Morcom. Towards the end of his time at Sherborne, Turing formed a close relationship with fellow student, Christopher Morcom, who shared his intellectual curiosity – giving Turing a vital period of intellectual companionship and communication.
- He developed his ideas and code-breaking prowess at university. In 1931 Turing studied mathematics at King’s College, University of Cambridge, thriving in the intellectual environment and taking up rowing and long distance running (which he excelled at throughout his life).
- He famously cracked the ‘Enigma’ code. Turing was already working part-time for the British Government’s Code and Cypher School (now GCHQ) before World War Two broke out.
