EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of quiet determination and resilience displayed by Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, New Zealand Army, during the First World War. Born in September 1889, Gibson served his country with honor and bravery, both on foot and on horseback. The image shows Gibson confidently seated atop his horse, his gaze fixed ahead as he surveys the rugged terrain of an unspecified battlefield. His uniform is adorned with the Military Medal (MM), a decoration awarded for acts of gallantry during the war. The horse, equally attentive, seems to sense the seriousness of the situation, its ears pricked forward and eyes alert. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the crucial role horses played in the military during the First World War. They were essential for transportation, communication, and even for carrying wounded soldiers to safety. This image, taken from the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a New Zealand trooper serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the Great War. The photograph's composition, with the rider and horse set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a clear blue sky, adds to its timeless beauty. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who served, and the sacrifices they made for their country. This powerful image invites us to reflect on the history of the First World War and the role of the New Zealand Army in its outcome.
