EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of Mounted Police patrolling the battlefields of Flanders during World War I. The image, taken somewhere in the region, depicts Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. Born in September 1889, Gibson is shown mounted on his horse, dressed in his military uniform, and scanning the surroundings with a keen and focused expression. The Northumbrian Field Ambulance was a mobile medical unit that provided first aid and emergency medical care to wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Gibson's presence among the Mounted Police suggests that he may have been called upon to assist in maintaining order and security in the chaotic and dangerous environment of the war zone. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the many roles that medical personnel played during the conflict, often working in close proximity to the front lines and facing their own risks. The image also underscores the importance of maintaining order and security in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war. This photograph is a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time during one of the most significant events in world history. It offers a glimpse into the experiences of those who served in the military during WWI, and the challenges they faced both on and off the battlefield. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of military history images available from Mary Evans Prints Online, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the military and the First World War.
