A Sister's Playful Moment: Nursing the Wounds of War at No. 3 CCS, Bailleul, during World War I This photograph depicts a Sister, identified as Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, playfully skipping up the steps of No. 3 Casualty Clearing Station (CCS) in Bailleul, France. The image, taken during the Great War, offers a rare glimpse into the lighter moments of life for these dedicated medical personnel. No. 3 CCS was a vital military installation, responsible for treating and caring for the wounded soldiers from the front lines. The Sisters and medical staff worked tirelessly under challenging conditions, providing essential medical care and support to thousands of injured soldiers. Despite the harsh realities of their daily work, this Sister takes a moment to let her guard down and enjoy a simple pleasure. The steps of No. 3 CCS become her makeshift dance floor, as she skips up with a carefree expression, her white uniform billowing around her. The photograph captures the essence of human resilience and the importance of finding joy in the midst of adversity. Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, born in September 1889, is a testament to the courage and dedication of the many Sisters and medical personnel who served during World War I. His playful moment on the steps of No. 3 CCS serves as a poignant reminder of the humanity behind the uniforms and the indomitable spirit that carried them through the darkest days of history.
