According to [[The National Archives]], it was formed in 1886 and &quot;provided much of the First World War and pre-First World War code-breaking expertise&quot;. Its deciphering section, formed in October 1914, was known as [[Room 40]]. The Archives say NID was superseded in 1964 by the [[Defence Intelligence Staff]], and that it was concerned with enemy and allied shipping, including plotting shipping movements and collecting information on foreign coasts and coastal defences.&lt;ref name=&quot;TNAguide&quot;&gt;The National Archives, [https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/intelligence-and-security-services/ Intelligence and security services] ''The National Archives'', accessed 5 November 2026.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Room 40]]<br /> * [[Government Code and Cypher School]]<br /> * [[Defence Intelligence]]<br /> * [[Directorate of Military Intelligence]]<br /> * [[British Military Intelligence]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/intelligence-and-security-services/ The National Archives – Intelligence and security services]<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:British Military Intelligence]]</div>
