EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of respite and camaraderie among soldiers of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I. The image features two soldiers, Ciss and Ethel, intently focused on their performance as they sing the popular folk song "Little Brown Jug." The song's upbeat melody and lighthearted lyrics would have provided a welcome distraction from the harsh realities of the war. The photograph is signed by Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, who served with the unit during this time. Born in September 1889, Gibson's military career began prior to the outbreak of war, and he likely played an essential role in caring for the wounded and sick soldiers under his charge. The presence of a photograph like this one, showing moments of levity and connection amidst the chaos of war, serves as a poignant reminder of the humanity that existed even in the most challenging of circumstances. The image is a precious historical document, providing a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during WWI. It is not to be confused with any commercial use or reproduction, and is available only through Mary Evans Prints Online as a rights-managed image. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection focused on military history, World War I, or the experiences of soldiers during wartime.
