EDITORS COMMENTS
When You Get Full Pack On and Souvenirs: A Soldier's Moment of Respite in France during World War I This evocative photograph captures the moment of rest and reflection for Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, as he sits amongst his belongings in a quiet corner of France during the First World War. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly on the battlefields of Europe, tending to the wounded and sick under the most challenging of conditions. The image, titled 'When you get full pack on and souvenirs,' shows Gibson with his military pack at his side and a small collection of souvenirs spread out before him. The items, including a wooden pipe, a postcard, and a photograph, serve as poignant reminders of the experiences and memories he has accumulated during his time in the military. The serene expression on his face and the peaceful surroundings suggest a brief respite from the horrors of war. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was part of the British Expeditionary Force that was sent to France in 1914 to help defend against the German invasion. The regiment played a crucial role in providing medical support to the troops on the front lines, often working under heavy fire and in dangerous conditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a soldier during World War I, highlighting the human side of the conflict and the importance of finding moments of peace and connection amidst the chaos. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during this pivotal period in history.
