EDITORS COMMENTS
When You Skid in the Mud: The Unyielding Resilience of a WWI Field Ambulance Sergeant This evocative photograph captures the gritty reality of life on the Western Front during World War I. Titled 'When you skid in the mud. Somewhere in France,' the image depicts Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. Born in September 1889, Gibson is seen here in the midst of a challenging situation, his horse-drawn ambulance having skidded in the thick, churned-up mud that was a common feature of the battlefields in France. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the harsh conditions endured by the medical personnel during the war. Gibson's determined expression and his unwavering focus on the task at hand speak volumes about the unyielding resilience and dedication of the soldiers who served on the front lines, ensuring the care and wellbeing of their comrades amidst the chaos and danger of the battlefield. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, part of the Royal Army Medical Corps, played a crucial role in the war effort. Their mission was to provide medical assistance and evacuate the wounded from the battlefield to the rear areas, where they could receive further treatment. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily challenges faced by these brave men and the vital role they played in the larger narrative of the Great War. As we reflect on the history of the First World War, images like this one serve as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served, and the unwavering spirit that carried them through even the most difficult of circumstances.
