Theodore Arthur Tapp MC & Bar (5 April 1883 – 21 October 1917) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
[3] After graduating from Cambridge, he intended to pursue a career in the Diplomatic Service, but ill health put paid to that ambition and he instead joined the London Stock Exchange in 1905, becoming a partner in the firm C. Andreae and Company.
[1] Tapp served in the First World War and was commissioned at the start of the conflict as a second lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards in September 1914.
[6] He remained in the trenches of the Western Front until he was again wounded in action in January 1916, which necessitated another period of recovery at home.
[9][10] Four nights before the First Battle of Passchendaele, Tapp personally inspected the British guns while under heavy shelling and sniper fire.
