Of course I know the Pomp and Circumstance Marches (especially the one that is played at everyone's graduation), and I know that his wife ruled his manuscript paper for him
Thanks for reading my post. The background info of what Elgar wrote about the enigma is the only thing that is copied from Wiki. All of the research on the Pi solution is my original research. I think the evidence is overwhelming and I am continually surprised that so few people believe it is correct.

You are correct about the Pomp and Circumstance Marches and that his wife ruled his manuscript paper for him. He was quite an interesting man and I have enjoyed my three years of research on his enigma.
