At No. 3 CCS, Bailleul: A Portrait of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps This poignant photograph captures the stoic gaze of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, as he stands outside No. 3 Casualty Clearing Station (CCS) in Bailleul, France, during World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly on the Western Front, earning the Military Medal for his bravery and dedication to saving lives. The image, taken in 1917, depicts Gibson in his military uniform, adorned with the distinctive red cross insignia of the Royal Army Medical Corps. The backdrop of No. 3 CCS, with its makeshift tents and medical equipment, underscores the harsh realities of war and the vital role played by medical personnel in caring for the wounded. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Gibson and countless others during the Great War. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the medical services, who worked tirelessly under challenging conditions to provide care and support to the injured soldiers. This photograph, from the extensive collection of military history images at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the experiences of those who served during World War I. It is a powerful reminder of the human stories that lie behind the historical records and statistics, and the enduring impact of war on individuals and communities.
