EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph features Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly in the medical corps, providing essential care and support to wounded soldiers on the battlefield. The image showcases Gibson in his military uniform, which includes a pair of overalls. These overalls, a common piece of equipment for medical personnel during the war, were designed for functionality and durability. The overalls featured in this photograph exhibit multiple large pockets on both legs, which were utilized to carry various medical supplies, bandages, and other essentials needed for treating soldiers in the field. The overalls' design was practical, allowing medical personnel to access their supplies quickly and efficiently, even in the most challenging conditions. The pockets were reinforced and secured with buttons or straps to ensure that the contents remained in place during movement and physical exertion. The overall appearance of Gibson's uniform, with its worn and weathered texture, underscores the harsh realities of life on the Western Front. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by medical personnel during the war, who risked their own lives to save others. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the daily life of a World War I medical orderly. It is a testament to the resilience, courage, and dedication of those who served in the military medical corps during this pivotal period in history.
