When Your Team Gets Beat: A Moment of Sportsmanship in the Trenches of World War I This poignant photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I. The image, titled 'When your team get beat. Well we let you win,' features Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson (386202), a member of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, holding a hockey stick with a smiling opponent in the background. Born in September 1889, Gibson and his fellow soldiers found solace in moments of recreation and friendly competition, even in the midst of the Great War. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of soldiers during this tumultuous time, highlighting their humanity and resilience. The hockey stick, a symbol of friendly competition, serves as a reminder that despite the challenges they faced, these men were not just soldiers, but individuals with personal lives and interests. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was an essential unit in the British Army, responsible for providing medical care to wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Gibson, like many other soldiers, would have experienced the horrors of war firsthand. Yet, in this moment, he and his opponent put aside the violence and strife of the battlefield to engage in a friendly game of hockey. This photograph is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the importance of finding joy and connection, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It serves as a reminder that, even in the midst of war, moments of levity and camaraderie can provide a much-needed reprieve from the harsh realities of conflict.
