EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Medical Aid House in the grounds of Bedford House, located to the east of Ypres in Belgium, during the First World War. The Medical Aid House served as a vital medical facility for the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance of the Royal Army Medical Corps. In the foreground, we see Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, tending to a wounded soldier. Born in September 1889, Gibson was a dedicated medical professional who bravely served his country during the Great War. The Medical Aid House was a crucial component of the military's medical network, providing essential care and treatment to the injured soldiers on the front lines. The tranquil setting of Bedford House grounds, with its trees and rolling hills, starkly contrasts the harsh realities of war, highlighting the resilience and compassion of those who worked tirelessly to save lives amidst the chaos of battle. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by medical personnel during WWI and the vital role they played in caring for the wounded soldiers. The image is dated 12th March 1916 and is identified by the reference number 386202 from Mary Evans Prints Online.
