Tommy's Riding Lesson
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Moment of Respite in the Chaos of World War I This evocative photograph captures the moment of respite and camaraderie amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I. The image features Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, as he gives a riding lesson to an unidentified soldier. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly throughout the war, earning the Military Medal for his bravery. The photograph, titled "Tommy's Riding Lesson" (386202), offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during this tumultuous period. The serene setting of the open field, dotted with trees, stands in stark contrast to the brutal battles that defined the war. The horses, well-groomed and seemingly at ease, add to the tranquil atmosphere. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, display a sense of unity and camaraderie as they learn a new skill together. The lesson not only serves as a practical training exercise but also offers a brief reprieve from the horrors of war. The shared experience of learning to ride, under the watchful eye of their sergeant, creates a bond between the soldiers that transcends the battlefield. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, where moments of peace and connection can be found even in the most challenging circumstances. The image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective into the lives of soldiers during World War I and the role of the Royal Army Medical Corps in their care and support.
