Willoughby Harry "Tommy" Thompson CMG (3 December 1919 – 25 January 2018)[1] was a British colonial administrator who served in various posts in a number of countries, including Kenya, the Falkland Islands, and British Virgin Islands.
He went to the Falkland Islands to work as the colonial secretary in 1963 and then worked in a number of posts, including the acting governor, the magistrate with jurisdiction and later the acting judge of the Supreme Court in the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the British Antarctic Territory.
During his time in the Falklands, Argentina began to express an aggressive intent towards the British colony.
In 1968, he was appointed administrator to the British Virgin Islands, but was sent to Anguilla after a few months to deal with a rebellion against independence there, and help set it up as a separate colony.
