EDITORS COMMENTS
The Joys of Patrol: A poignant moment in the life of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during the First World War. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly on the Western Front, providing medical assistance to wounded soldiers under the most challenging conditions. In this photograph, he is seen taking a brief respite from his duties, leaning against a tree with a weary expression on his face. The serene landscape around him, dotted with poppies and other wildflowers, offers a stark contrast to the harsh realities of war. The title "The Joys of Patrol" is a bittersweet reminder of the paradoxical nature of military service - the joy and camaraderie found amidst the hardships and struggles. Gibson's uniform bears the Military Medal, an award for bravery in the face of the enemy. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Gibson during the Great War, and the historical significance of the regiments and units they served in. The Northumbrian Field Ambulance was an essential component of the medical services during WWI, providing prompt and effective medical care to the wounded on the battlefield. This photograph, taken during the war, is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the men and women who served in the medical corps during this pivotal moment in history.
