EDITORS COMMENTS
Mud, Mud and Plenty of Rain: The Unforgettable Reality of World War I for Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson Amidst the chaotic backdrop of the Western Front during World War I, the relentless rain and thick mud became an ever-present and unyielding enemy for the soldiers, often making their already arduous tasks even more challenging. In this evocative photograph, we see Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, wading through the muddy terrain of France. Born in September 1889, Gibson, with his determined expression and steadfast gaze, embodies the resilience and unwavering spirit of those who served during this tumultuous time. The year was 1916, and the rain had been unrelenting, turning the battlefields into a quagmire of mud and water. The Northumbrian Field Ambulance, part of the British Expeditionary Force, was tasked with providing medical support to the troops. Gibson, with his medical kit slung over his shoulder, was one of many who braved the elements to attend to the wounded and sick, often in the most inhospitable conditions. The photograph, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of war and the unwavering commitment of the soldiers, like Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, who served in the mud, mud, and plenty of rain, somewhere in France.
