What It Feels Like During a Bombardment by Fritz: A Glimpse into the Trenches of World War I through the Eyes of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson This evocative photograph captures the intense and harrowing experience of a bombardment during the First World War, as felt by Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. Born in September 1889, Gibson served on the Western Front, where he witnessed and survived numerous attacks from the German forces, known to the Allies as 'Fritz.' The image shows Gibson with a determined expression, his eyes fixed on the horizon as he braces himself against the onslaught of explosions. The ground around him is churned up, evidence of the relentless bombardment that has preceded this moment. The smoke and dust from the explosions fill the air, obscuring the battlefield and making it nearly impossible to see or breathe. Despite the chaos and danger surrounding him, Gibson remains focused, his role as a medic requiring him to tend to the wounded and keep his composure in the face of adversity. The weight of his medical pack and the gravity of the situation are evident in his posture, as he prepares to provide aid to those in need. This photograph offers a poignant and powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of the soldiers who served in the trenches during World War I. It is a testament to the human spirit and the unwavering determination to endure even the most harrowing of circumstances.
