Crack the Code

Back in the First and Second World Wars, pigeons were sometimes used to deliver messages because they were such good fliers and could always find their way home. The messages were usually written in secret code so the enemy couldn’t read them.

Here’s a secret message that would fill the small piece of paper inside the capsule on a messenger pigeon’s leg.

Can you read the message? (Clue: A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.)
