EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the introspective gaze of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly on the battlefields of Europe, earning the Military Medal for his bravery and dedication to saving lives. The image, titled "Chappie," reveals a moment of respite for the weary soldier. With his hands resting on his knees and his eyes fixed on the horizon, Gibson appears deep in thought, perhaps reflecting on the experiences and losses he has endured during the war. The uniform he wears is that of a medical orderly, a testament to his role as a healer amidst the chaos and destruction of battle. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was an essential unit in the British Army during World War I, providing medical support to troops on the front lines. The regiment saw action in some of the most significant battles of the war, including the Somme and Passchendaele. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Gibson during the Great War. It offers a glimpse into the human side of military history, revealing the emotions and experiences of those who served and fought for their country. The image is a valuable historical document, preserving the memory of a brave and dedicated soldier for future generations to learn from and honor.
