EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment of respite for Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during the chaotic and harrowing days of the First World War. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly on the Western Front, tending to the wounded and sick under the most challenging of conditions. The image, taken in 1917, shows Gibson leaning against a tree, momentarily at ease amidst the devastation of war. His weary expression and the bandages visible on his arm are testament to the physical and emotional toll of his duties. The Northumbrian Field Ambulance, part of the British Expeditionary Force, played a crucial role in providing medical care to soldiers during the conflict. This powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the human side of the war, reminding us of the sacrifices made by individuals like Gibson, who put their lives on the line to help others in their time of need." "The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the bravery and dedication of the medical personnel who served during the First World War. It is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the experiences of soldiers on the front lines and the important role of the medical corps in supporting them.
