Revision as of 15:46, 9 June 2016
Captain Theodore Evelyn Johnstone Bigg, R.N. (5 September, 1878 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Bigg was appointed in command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 64 on 11 July, 1899 for manoeuvres.[1]
Bigg was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 April, 1901.[2]
In June, 1904, he completed at 10 day navigation course in Talbot. Captain Bayly noted that Bigg "would do well if placed in command of a T.B.D.." This advice would prove resonant, as Bigg enjoyed a considerable number of destroyer commands.[3]
Bigg was appointed Lieutenant & Commander of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 27 on 12 February, 1913.[4]
Bigg was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1913.[5]
He was appointed in command of the destroyer Cheerful on 27 January, 1914 and would be in her through the first year of the war.
Great War
Bigg left Cheerful for a brief stint in command of Beagle on 22 September, 1915, followed by a series of additional destroyer commands. Some confusion exists about the span of a second command of Badger, but he seems to have missed the Battle of Jutland.
Bigg was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1918, and appointed in command of the scout cruiser Bellona on 15 November, 1918.[6] Sadly for him, his ship was under refit during the surrender of the High Sea Fleet.
Post-War
Bigg was placed on the Retired List upon his relief as Captain (D) of the Fifth Destroyer Flotilla on 16 August, 1922.[7]
World War II
Bigg was made the Naval Representative on the Joint Recruiting Board of the University of Liverpool, including the University College of North Wales, Bangor on 2 September, 1939, but was reverted to the Retired List on 4 November.[8]
