EDITORS COMMENTS
Spit Fort: A Guardian of Portsmouth Harbour in WWI This evocative photograph captures the rugged beauty and historic significance of Spit Fort, one of three forts that once guarded the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour during World War I. Located at the eastern end of Spithead, this impressive fortification was built between 1859 and 1867 to protect the strategic naval base from external threats. In the foreground of the image, we find 386202 Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly during the Great War. The Military Medal, a military decoration awarded for bravery in the presence of the enemy, adorns his left chest, a testament to his courage and dedication. The fort's imposing silhouette stands tall against the backdrop of the English Channel, its cannons trained towards the sea. The fort's strategic location made it a vital component of the harbour's defenses, and its presence served as a constant reminder of the potential dangers lurking beyond the waters. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to a period of history marked by conflict and uncertainty. The image offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Gibson, who braved the perils of war to protect their homeland. The fort, a silent sentinel, stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment and the indomitable spirit of the military forces that have defended Portsmouth Harbour for centuries.
