EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of respite for Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during the tumultuous events of the First World War in France. Born in September 1889, Gibson is seen here wearing his military uniform, adorned with the Military Medal, a decoration awarded for acts of gallantry and devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy. The serene expression on his face and the peaceful surroundings, with French countryside in the background, contrast sharply with the chaos and destruction of the war. The photograph, titled "French Turcos Somewhere in France," is a poignant reminder of the human element of the conflict, as soldiers like Gibson sought solace amidst the horrors of the battlefield. The term "Turcos" was a nickname given to the Northumbrian Field Ambulance due to their distinctive red crosses on green background, which resembled the Turkish flag. This regiment, part of the British Expeditionary Force, played a crucial role in providing medical assistance to wounded soldiers during the war. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the experiences of soldiers during the Great War. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who served, and the importance of medical support in ensuring the survival of soldiers on the battlefield. This image, with its rich historical significance, is a must-have for any military history or topographical collection.
