EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the stoic and determined expression of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson (Service Number 386202), a moustached comrade serving with the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance of the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson is depicted in his military uniform, adorned with the Military Medal (MM) for his bravery and dedication to his duties. The Northumbrian Field Ambulance was formed in 1914 and served in various theaters of the war, including France, Mesopotamia, and Salonika. Gibson's unit played a crucial role in providing medical assistance to wounded soldiers on the battlefield, often under hazardous conditions. The portrait's intricate details bring Gibson's character to life, revealing the resilience and fortitude of the soldiers who served during the Great War. The moustache, a common feature among military personnel of the era, adds a sense of tradition and camaraderie to the image. This portrait is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Gibson and the crucial role the medical corps played in the war effort. The historical significance of this image makes it an invaluable addition to any collection focusing on military history or World War I.
