EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic HMS Victory, the flagship of Admiral Horatio Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, anchored majestically in Portsmouth Harbour. The image is further enriched by the presence of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, who stands at the water's edge, gazing intently at the iconic warship. Born in September 1889, Gibson served during World War I, a time when the HMS Victory was no longer in active service but served as a training vessel for naval personnel. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the connection between the naval and medical services during times of conflict. The HMS Victory, a symbol of British naval power and a testament to the ingenuity of the time, is depicted in all its grandeur, with sails fully hoisted and cannons pointed out to sea. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when maritime supremacy was a matter of national pride. The photograph also serves as a tribute to the unsung heroes of the war, like Acting Sergeant Gibson, who played a crucial role in caring for the wounded and injured. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the medical personnel during times of war. This photograph, with its rich historical significance, is a must-have for any collection focusing on military history, naval history, or the history of the Royal Army Medical Corps. It is a beautiful piece of art that tells a compelling story of the past, making it an excellent addition to any home or office decor.
