Captain (retired) George Louis Downall Gibbs, D.S.O. (30 July, 1882 – 31 October, 1956) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

The son of W. C. Gibb, a Blerk of the Holy Order at the Hagley Rectory in Stourbridge. Gibbs received his first naval appointment to the second class protected cruiser Talbot on 15 September, 1898.[1]

Gibbs was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1904.[2]

Gibbs was appointed in command of the destroyer Scourge on 1 August, 1911. He was chastised for losing torpedo number 22 and damage to number 9 from her in early 1913; it was considered that he had not adequately organized and supervised the torpedo tube crews.[3]

Gibbs was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 June, 1912.[4]

Great War

Though he had been slated to assume command of destroyer Lysander, Gibbs was instead appointed in command of Angler on 1 August, 1914. This lasted just a fortnight, as he was appointed in command of the destroyer Crusader on 16 August, 1914.[5]

Gibbs was mentioned in despatches by Rear-Admiral Hood for his operations on the Belgian Coast between 17 October to 9 November, 1914.[6]

Gibbs was praised for his conduct on the occasion of Matchless's mining on 9 November, 1915.[7]

Gibbs was awarded a D.S.O. by the Vice-Admiral commanding Dover Patrol for his work in leading a division of destroyers in action, gazetted 25 July, 1916.[8]

On the night of 16 July, 1917, Gibb captured some German merchant vessels. Just three nights later, Gibb took H.M.S. Tarpon under tow after she'd struck a mine. That he'd effected this rescue on a bad night and so near an enemy port impressed the Admiralty.[9]

On the night of 25-26 November 1917, Gibb helped rescue the paddle minesweeper H.M.S. Croxton. Gibb was thanked for his assisting in the destruction of a submarine on 11 March 1918,[10] but no U-boat losses can be tied to this date.[11]

Gibbs was praised by the Admiralty for the manner in which he attacked an enemy submarine with his destroyer Thruster on 17 May, 1918.[12]

Gibbs was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1918.[13]

Interbellum

Placed on the Retired List at his own request on 22 March, 1923, Gibbs was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 July, 1927.[14]

World War II

In August, 1939, Gibbs was made a Consular Shipping Adviser in Narvik, staying there until mid 1940.

On 5 September 1941 he was appointed in command of the commando troop ship H.M.S. Queen Emma, vice Kershaw. On 17 March 1942, he was re-appointed in command, and as Senior Officer, Raiding Force "D" – a seemingly very "kinetic" assignment for a man in his late fifties.[15]

In April, 1944, he was appointed in command of Ganges, vice Fallowfield, holding the rank of acting Captain. He reverted to the Retired List after the war, on 16 May, 1946.[16]
