EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous photograph captures the moment when an actor, played by Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, attempts to impress a Naval Recruiting Officer with his supposed extensive maritime experience during World War I. Gibson, born in September 1889, boasts of his time spent as a midshipman in HMS Pinafore, a lieutenant in several plays, and an admiral in the Chinese Honeymoon. The recruiting officer, likely amused by the actor's theatrical background, looks skeptical as he inquires about Gibson's real experience. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, highlighting the intersection of military service and the entertainment industry during a time of war. Gibson's military title, Acting Sergeant, suggests that he may have been a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps, as indicated by his affiliation with the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance. This photograph not only showcases the humor and lightheartedness found amidst the harsh realities of war but also sheds light on the diverse backgrounds of those who served during WWI. This photograph is part of the rich historical record of the regiments and military units that took part in the Great War, offering a unique perspective on the experiences of individuals who served during this pivotal period in world history.
