EDITORS COMMENTS
Cornered Somewhere in France": A poignant moment in the life of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, captured during the tumultuous years of World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson served valiantly on the Western Front, tending to the wounded and injured soldiers amidst the chaos and carnage of battle. In this powerful image, Gibson is seen cornered against a rough stone wall, his weary expression etched with the weight of the horrors he has witnessed. The frayed edges of his uniform and the dirt smeared on his face testify to the harsh conditions of the battlefield. Yet, despite the hardships, Gibson remains steadfast, his gaze fixed on the task at hand. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was part of the British Expeditionary Force that landed in France in August 1914. The regiment played a crucial role in providing medical assistance to the soldiers on the front lines, often working under fire and in the midst of heavy fighting.

This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the medical personnel during World War I. It offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of life on the front lines and the unwavering dedication of those who served to care for the wounded and injured soldiers. The image is a testament to the resilience and courage of the human spirit, even in the face of unimaginable adversity.
