EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment of pride and anticipation as 386202 Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, puts on the uniform of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, for the very first time. Born in September 1889, Gibson was likely called to active duty during the early stages of World War I. The uniform, adorned with the Military Medal ribbon, signifies his bravery and dedication in the face of danger. The Northumbrian Field Ambulance was formed in 1908 and saw action on the Western Front, providing medical support to the British Army. Gibson's decision to join the medical corps was a selfless one, as he put himself in harm's way to save the lives of his comrades. The photograph captures the essence of a pivotal moment in Gibson's life, as he prepares to embark on a journey that would test his courage and resolve. The uniform, with its intricate details and regal bearing, represents the rich history and tradition of the Royal Army Medical Corps and the sacrifices made by its members during the Great War. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, to an era when the world was forever changed by the events of World War I. We are reminded of the bravery and dedication of individuals like Gibson, who put their lives on the line to protect their country and care for their comrades. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the military and the importance of preserving the history of those who served.
