Another Pill for Kaiser Bill - Briton on the Offensive
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and powerful image capturing the determination and resilience of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson during the First World War. This photograph, taken in 1916, depicts Gibson, a member of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance of the Royal Army Medical Corps, administering a pill to a wounded soldier. Gibson, born in September 1889, wears the Military Medal (MM) on his chest, signifying his bravery and heroism in the face of danger. The title of the photograph, "Another Pill for Kaiser Bill," is a reference to the popular British propaganda slogan during World War I, which urged the British public to support the war effort by purchasing war bonds. The phrase "Another Pill for Kaiser Bill" was used to encourage people to contribute "one more penny" towards the war effort, with "Kaiser Bill" being a derogatory term used to refer to German Emperor Wilhelm II. The image of Gibson administering a pill to a wounded soldier is a poignant reminder of the medical care and support that was provided to soldiers on the front lines. The photograph also highlights the sacrifices made by medical personnel during the war, who risked their own lives to save others. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was one of many regiments that played a crucial role in the medical support of British troops during World War I. The Royal Army Medical Corps, to which the regiment belonged, was responsible for providing medical care and support to the British Army, and its members played a vital role in saving countless lives during the war. This photograph is a significant historical document that offers a glimpse into the medical care provided during World War I and the sacrifices made by medical personnel. It is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of medical support in times of conflict.
