Recognise Alan Turing with a knighthood Posthumously.

Petition Details

The Government should recognise Alan Turing’s contribution to this country and the allied war effort by giving him a knighthood posthumously.

Additional Information

A great wrong was done with a great man as he was persecuted for being a gay. He was never recognised while alive for all his efforts to support UK and Allied war effort. We wouldn’t have won the Second World War without him.
