Wotten Bore: The Unassuming Hero of WWI - 386202 Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps This humorous photograph captures the spirit of WWI soldier, 386202 Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, as he playfully pokes fun at the War Office's perceived obsession with medals. Born in September 1889, Gibson served with the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance of the Royal Army Medical Corps during the Great War. With a mischievous grin and a twinkle in his eye, Gibson quips, "Wotten bore! The War Office wouldn't have me - my chest wouldn't be large enough to hold all the bally medals I should win." This lighthearted remark belies the bravery and dedication that Gibson and countless other soldiers demonstrated during their service. The image of Gibson, dressed in his military uniform, is a poignant reminder of the human side of war. Despite the challenges and hardships faced during this period, soldiers found moments of levity and humor to help cope with the stresses of their environment. As a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps, Gibson played a crucial role in providing medical care to wounded soldiers on the battlefield. His service and sacrifice are an essential part of military history, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the experiences of the ordinary soldiers who served during WWI.
