Captain Alan George Despard Twigg, Royal Navy, Retired (25 August, 1884 – ?) was an officer in the Royal Navy.
In November 1912, as Lieutenant (G) aboard Cornwallis, he was blamed for poor results in gunlayers tests attributed to a "general want of initiative on the part of all concerned which was accentuated by inexperience.[1]
He served as Gunnery Officer in Agincourt from 10 October, 1916, and in Thunderer from 26 February, 1919.[2]
In 1937 Twigg was selected to take the Sea Transport Officers Training Course which he took between 23 February and 5 March. On 1 August Twigg received Admiralty permission to be appointed Vice-Consul at Patras. In 1939 he became Consul at Brest.
