EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during World War I. Gibson, born in September 1889, served as a sniper, using his exceptional marksmanship skills to take out enemy targets from a safe distance. The caption "Watch me let daylight into that thick skull of his" written on the back of the photograph adds an intriguing layer of mystery and intensity to the image. Gibson's stern gaze and the positioning of his hand on the watch suggest that he is ready for his next mission, with the passing of time being a crucial factor in the success of his operations. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who served during the Great War, and the important role of the medical corps in caring for the wounded. The image is part of the extensive military history collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the rich history of the regiments and the soldiers who served in the military during this period.
