Major Kenneth Alfred Biggs GC (26 February 1911 − 11 January 1998) was a British Army officer of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) who was awarded the George Cross (GC) for gallantry in his actions in rescuing people from an ammunition train on 2 January 1946 in Savernake Forest, Wiltshire, and preventing a major explosion.

[2] By 1946, when the war was over, when Biggs was a captain and temporary major, he had returned to the United Kingdom, being stationed at CAD Corsham whilst nearing demobilisation.

It is probable that had all this material been detonated, in addition to killing all the personnel present, severe damage would have been caused to the nearby town of Marlborough.

[2][4] The first person on the scene to attempt to control the situation was Staff Sergeant Sidney George Rogerson (who was also to be awarded the GC for his actions).

[2][5] The award was announced in the London Gazette of 8 October 1946, with the citation dated 11 October 1946: The KING has been graciously pleased to approve the award of the GEORGE CROSS, in recognition of most conspicuous gallantry in carrying out hazardous work in a very brave manner, to the undermentioned: — Captain (temporary Major) Kenneth Alfred BIGGS (173490), Royal Army Ordnance Corps (London, N.10).

Major Biggs displayed exceptional devotion to duty by assisting to save valuable equipment and ammunition with complete disregard for his personal safety.

"The superior devotion to duty and leadership displayed by Major Biggs reflects very high credit on him and the Armed Forces of the British Army.
