EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the unwavering vigilance of 386202 Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, a French sentry during World War I. Gibson, a member of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance of the Royal Army Medical Corps, was born in September 1889. The image, taken during the Great War, shows Gibson standing tall and alert, his rifle at the ready, as he scans the battlefield for any signs of danger. The harsh conditions of the battlefield are evident in the muddy terrain and the desolate landscape in the background. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was a vital unit in the British military during WWI, responsible for providing medical assistance to wounded soldiers on the front lines. Gibson, as a French sentry, would have been tasked with protecting the medical personnel and supplies from enemy attack. His unwavering dedication and commitment to his duty are palpable in this powerful image. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of a soldier on the front lines and the importance of the role played by medical personnel in ensuring the survival of wounded soldiers. The historical significance of this image lies in its ability to transport us back in time and provide a unique perspective on the events of the past. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images available from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in military history, the history of the First World War, or the role of the Royal Army Medical Corps during this period.
