EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the moment of consolation between Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, and a wounded soldier during the First World War. Born in September 1889, Gibson served bravely on the battlefields of Europe, providing medical aid to the injured and comfort to the dying. The photograph, taken during the war, shows Gibson tenderly placing a hand on the shoulder of the soldier, offering a word of encouragement or a moment of respite from the horrors of the battlefield. The soldier, with a bandaged head and weary expression, leans into the gesture, accepting the solace offered. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was part of the Royal Army Medical Corps, a vital component of the British military during the First World War. These medical units were responsible for providing emergency medical care to soldiers on the battlefield, often in the most challenging and dangerous conditions. Herbert Gibson's bravery and compassion were recognized with the Military Medal, a decoration awarded for acts of gallantry and devotion to duty in the face of the enemy. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of compassion and care in times of crisis. The photograph is a poignant and moving testament to the sacrifices made by soldiers and medical personnel during the First World War, and a reminder of the enduring power of human connection and consolation in the face of adversity.
