THE BOOK THAT JESTYN GAVE TO 

ALF  BOXALL 

IMAGE 1: THE INSCRIPTION PAGE

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS ON A MOBILE PHONE, DOUBLE TAP ON THE IMAGE BELOW THEN ZOOM IN TO EACH WORD IN THE INSCRIPTION BELOW, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HOW SKILFULLY MICROCODE HAS BEEN HIDDEN INTO EVERY LETTER AND INTO THE NUMBER 70, THE JESTYN SIGNATURE AND THE INVERTED COMMAS AT THE END OF THE INSCRIPTION. I HAVE MARKED UP THOSE LETTERS AND PARTS OF WORDS THAT ARE MORE LEGIBLE. 

IF VIEWING ON A PC, JUST DOWNLOAD TO VIEW...

You will note that I have cropped over the centerline of the two pages, this has been done so that you can easily download the two separate pieces and then follow the instructions below on how to view the hidden codes for yourself.

The above image shows the comparison between the normal photo and the processed image in which you can see the hidden codes have been revealed. In fact, if you look closely you will see that even the outlines of the leaves also have microcode.

I will be adding more images from these two pages over the coming days.

HOW TO PROCESS THE IMAGES

It really is a straightforward process:

1. The image at the top of the page can be downloaded, it is a high-resolution photograph of the actual book given by Jess to Alf Boxall

2. Print out the image using a reasonable quality inkjet printer, a laser printer uses melted plastic and does not carry the detailed information that we have in the image file. The printer should be set to 'BEST' quality and you should print it out on BLEED PROOF paper size A4

3. Organise a backlight, I use an LED backlight that I bought from Office works, which costs around $80. You can use other strong lights for this step. If needed you can adjust the strength of the light

4. I use a Lumix camera with macro lens to take the images you see here, but if you have a good quality mobile phone you can still get a good result.

5. Try different photo angles and use the flash if that helps.

6. You can then upload the images to your computer and make any adjustments to contrast/brightness, curves, etc to improve the result. 

SOME BACKGROUND

Over the years, numerous posts have been published on this blog relating to my firm belief that Alf Boxall and Jess were a handler and a field agent respectively.

This new series of posts show the final proof, the hard evidence that this was the case.

From what I now know and from previously existing evidence from others, I am of the belief that Alf was employed by Australian Military Intelligence and that he would have been recruited for his role whilst he was serving with the North Australia Observation Unit, colloquially known as the 'Nackeroos'. It is a possibility, no more than that, that  Lieutenant Colonel Bob Wake who had served in the top end, may have known Alf. Bob Wake was Queensland Director of Military Intelligence during the war years, he went on to become one of the early directors of ASIO on its formation in early 1949.

I am also of the belief that Jestyn was recruited into the intelligence world by a fellow nurse in or around the early part of 1944 whilst she was training at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital.  It was around that time that she became a member of the Australian Communist Party and, based on Jess's knowledge of the Russian language, she quite possibly taught English to Russian refugees at the Russian Social Club which was handily situated close to the CPA headquarters in George Street Sydney.
