'MI1' or British ''Military Intelligence, Section 1'' was a department of the British Directorate of Military Intelligence, part of the War Office. It was set up during World War I. It contained "C&C", which was responsible for Code Breaking. In 1919 MI1 and the Royal Navy's Room 40 were closed down and merged into the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS).
Oliver Strachey was in MI1 during WWI. He transferred to GC&CS and served there during WWII.
World renown code-breakers such as Glyn Davis (of the United States Fort Meade) and Arthur B. Campbell (of Dublin Intelligence & Information Repository) were drafted in to assist in the 1914-1919 era.
