EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the raw emotion and intensity of the frontline experience during the First World War. The photograph, titled "What your feet feel like when you are trying to dodge a shell," depicts Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, as he deftly maneuvers his way through the muddy trenches. Born in September 1889, Gibson served bravely in the trenches of the Western Front, tending to the wounded and injured soldiers under the constant threat of enemy fire. The image captures the moment of heightened alertness and fear as Gibson ducks and dodges a flying shell, the impact of which is vividly conveyed through the expression on his face and the position of his feet. The mud-splattered boots, with their worn-out soles and telltale signs of use, serve as a poignant reminder of the long hours spent in the trenches and the harsh conditions endured by soldiers during the war. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was an essential component of the British Expeditionary Force during WWI, providing medical assistance to soldiers on the battlefield. Gibson's bravery and dedication to his duties were recognized with the Military Medal, a decoration awarded for acts of gallantry and devotion to duty. This powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life and challenges faced by soldiers during the Great War, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served. The image is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the experiences of soldiers during this pivotal period in military history.
