EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stoic and resilient spirit of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson served as the Sgt. Cook of No. 3 CCS (Casualty Clearing Station), a crucial role in which he ensured the wellbeing of wounded soldiers by preparing and serving nutritious meals. Gibson's dedication to his duty was recognized with the Military Medal, a decoration awarded for bravery in the face of the enemy. The image shows Gibson standing proudly in front of a large cauldron, stirring a hearty stew with a long wooden spoon. The steam rises from the pot, filling the air with the comforting aroma of a hot meal. The rough, wooden table behind him is cluttered with ingredients and utensils, evidence of the countless meals he has prepared for the weary and injured soldiers. Despite the harsh conditions of the battlefield, Gibson's unwavering commitment to his men is evident in his determined expression and the care he puts into his work. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the unsung heroes of the war, the men and women who served behind the lines, ensuring the welfare and morale of the troops. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was part of the British Expeditionary Force that was sent to France in 1914. They played a vital role in the treatment and evacuation of wounded soldiers during some of the most intense battles of the war, including the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. This photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of the men and women who served in the medical corps during World War I, and to the important role they played in the larger narrative of the war.
