EDITORS COMMENTS
Going to the Front: A Fond Mother's Warning - September 1889, the year Herbet Gibson was born, marked the beginning of a life that would be forever changed by the events of the First World War. As the youngest son in a loving family, John Gibson was no stranger to his mother's protective embrace. But as the war loomed on the horizon, her concern for his safety grew. In this poignant moment captured in a photograph, the mother implores John to stay back from the front lines, her words a testament to the fear and uncertainty that gripped families during wartime. Herbert Gibson, now an Acting Sergeant with the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance of the Royal Army Medical Corps, stands proudly before his mother, a determined look in his eyes. Born in the late 1800s, he was part of a generation that would come to know the horrors of trench warfare and the unimaginable sacrifices of the Great War. The photograph, titled "Going to the Front," is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring bond between mother and son. It is a powerful image that speaks to the resilience and courage of those who served during WWI, as well as the love and support of the families who sent them off to the front. Herbert Gibson's story is just one of many that make up the rich history of the military regiments and the men and women who served during the First World War. This image, along with countless others, serves as a testament to the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in history.
