EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and evocative image that captures the essence of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The photograph features a poster with the powerful slogan "Your King and Country Need You - Join At Once," a call to action that resonated deeply with the British people during the height of the conflict. At the center of the image is the face of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. Born in September 1889, Gibson is depicted in his military uniform, with a serious and determined expression. The image serves as a reminder of the countless young men who answered the call to duty, leaving behind their homes and families to serve their country. The title "This Little Chick Stops at Home" is a reference to the popular phrase "The Old Soldier," which was often used to describe soldiers who had served in previous wars, such as the Boer War. The phrase "little chick" suggests that Gibson, despite his military experience, was still young and had a life and family waiting for him at home. The image is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifices made by individuals and their families during times of conflict. It is a historical drawing that captures the spirit of the era and the courage and determination of those who served in the military during WWI. Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson's story is just one of the many tales of bravery and sacrifice that emerged from the First World War. This image serves as a testament to the enduring impact of the conflict on individuals and families, and the importance of remembering their stories as part of our military and historical heritage.
