THE CODE PAGE, THE LETTER 'R'
In my view each and every letter and marking tell us a story, in this case the letter 'R' is highlighted, this post reveals just who may have written the code page but not just that as you will see.
VERSE 70, THE LETTER 'R'
Two separate documents written at different times, this document, Verse 70 inscribed into a fly leaf of a copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, is said to have been written by Jess in 1945. It also contains a highlighted letter 'R'.
The letters compared:
In 2015 I believe, I compared both the letters in a side by side image, here's an updated version:
Note also that on that date, Lieutenant Alf Boxall were in Sydney. Jess was. According to Paul Lawson, Alf and Jestyn were capturing and sending ship movement details to each other.
The Leter R on the left is from the code page and on the right, it is taken from the Verse 70 the word 'Repentance'. I have enlarged the letter R from verse 70 to get a more balanced view. You can clearly see that the example R, on the right is sloped, that's because it was written in cursive. The R on the left like the other letters on the code page, was block caps. The construction of both letters is very similar apart from the cursive issue.
The conclusion is that just maybe, the person who wrote the code page also wrote Verse 70. Is it conclusive, no but with corroborative evidence? Time will tell.
IMPORTANT
The date we have put on the letter Q on the code page is March 1943, that's as a result of finding the code letters RANXJ232XRANXCA32 within the Q. The J232 was the RAN ship HMAS Deloraine and the CA 32 was the USS New Orleans. The only time that these two ships were together was on March 7th 1943 when the NEW ORLEANS having been repaired, left Sydney Harbour for Puget Sound. The Deloraine acted as escort for some way into that journey.
Note also that on that date, Lieutenant Alf Boxall were in Sydney. Jess was. According to Paul Lawson, Alf and Jestyn were capturing and sending ship movement details to each other.
