Lieutenant-Commander John de Burgh Jessop, D.S.O. (28 August, 1885 – 23 March, 1924) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Born in Kirkby Hill, Nottingham.

Jessop was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1908.

In February 1914, he was in Haslar with a back injury. Fit on 1 April.

Jessop was appointed in command of the submarine A 5 on 1 June, 1914.[1]

Jessop was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 June, 1916.

On 23 October 1917 he was admitted to Plymouth Hospital with neurasthenia. Unusually, he was not fit until late November 1918, and even then for shore service only.

One of Jessop's wartime commands collided with Lurcher in fog when the guiding destroyer backed engines in thick fog to avoid colliding with a boom when attempting to enter Harwich.[2] It would appear that the submarine in question was either S 2, D 4 or E 38.

He was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 11 May, 1920.

He died of a double pneumonia.
