An all-boys boarding school in the United Kingdom on Tuesday welcomed back a collection of stolen mementos that once belonged to Alan Turing, the famed mathematician known for cracking German codes during World War II.
Historical items belonging to British computer scientist, mathemetician Alan Turing returned to England after a Colorado USA woman was accused of taking them.
The momentous return comes more than five years after U.S. authorities seized the keepsakes from a Colorado woman who claimed Turing as her father. The woman, who even changed her last name to Turing, had no relation to the legendary British codebreaker.
