EDITORS COMMENTS
What the Eyes Don't See: The Hidden Realities of World War I as Experienced by Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson In this poignant and powerful image, we see Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during the tumultuous period of World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly on the battlefields of Europe, tending to the wounded and sick soldiers who had been struck down in the conflict. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, captures Gibson in a moment of quiet reflection, his gaze fixed on something beyond the camera's lens. The expression on his face speaks volumes - a mixture of exhaustion, determination, and sadness. The folds of his uniform are creased and worn, a testament to the long hours spent caring for the injured and the harsh conditions endured on the front lines. But what the eyes don't see in this image is the true reality of the war. The deafening sound of gunfire, the acrid smell of gunpowder, the sight of mangled bodies, the cries of the dying and the anguished pleas of the wounded. These are the things that Gibson and his comrades in the medical corps faced every day, often with little respite. This photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in the military during World War I, and the hidden realities of war that are often overlooked. It is a poignant and powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict, and the courage and resilience of those who served to heal the wounds of war.
