EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson (386202), a brave member of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance of the Royal Army Medical Corps, wrapped in a fur coat somewhere in France during World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson served his country valiantly during one of the most tumultuous periods in history. The First World War, also known as the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918, and was a global conflict that involved many of the world's major powers. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was a vital part of the British military effort, providing medical assistance and support to soldiers on the front lines. The photograph shows Gibson wearing the distinctive uniform of the Royal Army Medical Corps, complete with his military hat and medical insignia. But what sets him apart from his fellow soldiers is the fur coat he wears, which appears to be a prized possession that offers him some warmth and comfort in the harsh conditions of the French battlefields. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the war, and the harsh realities they faced. It also highlights the important role of medical personnel in ensuring the survival of wounded soldiers, often in the most challenging of circumstances. This photograph is a significant addition to any collection of military history or World War I memorabilia. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a time when the world was forever changed by the events of the war. Whether displayed in a museum, library, or private collection, this photograph is sure to inspire reflection and appreciation for the courage and resilience of those who served during the Great War.
