EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of respite for Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during the harsh realities of the First World War. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly on the Western Front, attending to the wounded and injured soldiers under his care. In this image, however, we see a different side of the man, as he casts a line into the water, likely in search of a moment of peace and tranquility amidst the chaos of war. The photograph, titled "Tommy Fishing," is a poignant reminder of the humanity that existed even in the most inhumane of conditions. The soldier's uniform, complete with his military medals, is a testament to his bravery and dedication to his duty. Yet, in this moment, he is simply a man, enjoying a simple pleasure that many of us take for granted. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was a vital unit during the war, providing medical support to the British Army. The Royal Army Medical Corps played a crucial role in saving countless lives, and this photograph serves as a tribute to the men and women who served in this capacity. This image is a powerful reminder of the complexities of war and the importance of finding moments of joy and relaxation, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It is a poignant and poignant snapshot of history, and a testament to the resilience and determination of those who served during the Great War.
