EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative field postcard, titled 'The Push - Drumming Up' was drawn on the battlefields of World War I by an unknown artist, and depicts Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, in the midst of the chaos and intensity of the conflict. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly during the Great War, and this image captures a moment of resilience and determination amidst the hardships of the frontline. The title 'Drumming Up' refers to the practice of recruiting new soldiers or replacements for units that had suffered heavy losses. The image shows Gibson using a drum to rally his comrades, encouraging them to continue the fight. The rough, textured texture of the postcard and the pencil-drawn style of the image add to its raw, authentic feel, making it a poignant and powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this pivotal period in history. The postcard bears the number 386202, indicating its origin as a German field postcard (Feldpostkarte), and serves as a testament to the shared human experience of war and the enduring spirit of those who served.
