EDITORS COMMENTS
Leave!! Somewhere in France, 1916: A Moment of Respite for Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps Amid the chaos and turmoil of the Western Front during World War I, moments of reprieve were few and far between for the soldiers serving in the trenches. In this evocative photograph, we see Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, taking a brief respite from his duties. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly during the Great War, earning the Military Medal for his bravery and dedication to his comrades. The image captures Gibson sitting on the edge of a makeshift bed, surrounded by the trappings of military life. A worn-out uniform, a helmet resting nearby, and the faint glimmer of a campfire in the background all serve as reminders of the harsh realities of life on the front lines. Yet, for a moment, Gibson's expression suggests a sense of peace and contentment, as if he is savoring the simple pleasure of a moment's rest. The photograph, titled "Leave!! Somewhere in France," is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, and the moments of respite that soldiers sought amid the chaos and hardships of their experiences. This powerful image, taken during the height of the conflict in 1916, is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who served during World War I, and the sacrifices they made for their country.
