- A Moment of Triumph: A captivating image of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson (Service Number 386202) of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, relishing in the joy of victory after a hard-fought hockey match during World War I. Born in September 1889, Gibson is seen here, off-duty, holding a hockey stick with an expression of pure delight on his face. The photograph, titled "The Swank - when you win a match," is a poignant reminder of the camaraderie and moments of respite that soldiers experienced amidst the harsh realities of war. This evocative image, taken during the Great War, offers a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who served in the medical corps. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was responsible for providing medical assistance to wounded soldiers on the battlefield, making the moments of relaxation and recreation all the more precious. As we observe the image of Acting Sergeant Gibson, we are reminded of the rich history and traditions of military regiments, as well as the resilience and determination of the soldiers who served during World War I. The hockey stick, a symbol of friendly competition and camaraderie, adds an element of normalcy to the otherwise grim realities of war. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, is an essential addition to any collection focused on military history, World War I, or the experiences of soldiers during wartime.
