Abstract
In the lead-up to the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, Britain recognised the role telegraphy and wireless would play in the conflict, and took steps to stay ahead in the communications war. In advance of next month´s First World War centenary issue, we plot the birth of the secret intelligence unit, ´Room 40´ .
