EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the moment of reunions and new beginnings after the long and grueling years of World War I. In the foreground, Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, stands rigidly at attention as he greets the first visitor to his camp since the war's end. The visitor, a German commercial traveller, approaches with a case marked "Schnitzel and Berlin." Born in September 1889, Gibson, with his military medals adorning his chest, embodies the resilience and determination of the soldiers who served during the Great War. The German commercial traveller, with his hat in hand and a weary expression on his face, symbolizes the complexities of the post-war world. The case marked "Schnitzel and Berlin" may suggest that he is a purveyor of food, but it also serves as a reminder of the cultural and political tensions that would shape Europe in the years to come. This drawing, produced by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the historical record of the war and its aftermath. The image is a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the statistics and the headlines, and it invites us to reflect on the enduring power of human connection and the capacity for reconciliation even in the wake of conflict.
