EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, taken during the First World War, Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, tends to a wounded soldier at the Ypres Dressing Station. Born in September 1889, Gibson served bravely on the Western Front, providing medical care and support to the troops in the midst of the devastating battles. The Ypres Dressing Station was a vital facility for the Allied forces during the First World War, located near the front lines in the town of Ypres, Belgium. The station was constantly in use, with wounded soldiers being brought in from the battlefield for treatment and care. Gibson's calm and focused expression, as he attends to the soldier's injury, is a testament to the courage and dedication of the medical personnel during this time. The photograph captures a moment of respite in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was part of the British Expeditionary Force and saw action in many major battles, including the Second Battle of Ypres and the Battle of the Somme. This powerful image provides a glimpse into the history of military medicine during the First World War and the sacrifices made by individuals like Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson.
