EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance of No. 3 Casualty Clearing Station (CCS), Bailleul, during the First World War. The No. 3 CCS was part of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, and was located in Bailleul, France. In the foreground of the image, we see Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the same unit, standing proudly at the entrance. Born in September 1889, Gibson was a brave and dedicated medical professional who served with distinction during the war. The Military Medal was awarded to him for his gallant and meritorious acts in the face of the enemy. The entrance to the CCS is adorned with various regimental insignia and signs, indicating the importance of the facility in the military hierarchy. The large red cross on the wall signifies the medical nature of the station, and the numerous flags and pennants represent the various units and regiments that passed through its doors. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history of military medicine during the First World War. Casualty Clearing Stations were crucial in the treatment and care of wounded soldiers, and the No. 3 CCS in Bailleul would have seen thousands of patients pass through its doors during the conflict. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by medical personnel during wartime and the vital role they played in caring for the wounded and injured. This photograph is a valuable historical document, and its high-quality print from Mary Evans Prints Online makes it an excellent addition to any collection focused on military history, World War I, or the history of medical care during wartime.
