EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during World War I. Gibson, born in September 1889, is depicted in the photograph holding a hockey stick. The setting and context of the photograph are not clear, but it is believed to have been taken during a moment of leisure time during the war. Herbert Gibson's military service began in the British Army in 1910, and he was awarded the Military Medal for his bravery and dedication to his duties as a field ambulance man. He served in the Northumbrian Field Ambulance, which was responsible for providing medical care to soldiers on the battlefield. The hockey stick in Gibson's hands adds an intriguing element to the photograph. It is unclear whether this was a personal item he brought with him to the war or if it was used for recreational activities within the military. Hockey was a popular sport during this time, and it is not uncommon for soldiers to engage in physical activities as a means of relaxation and camaraderie. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, showcasing a moment of respite for a dedicated soldier. It also highlights the importance of regiments such as the Royal Army Medical Corps, whose members played a crucial role in the care and wellbeing of soldiers during the conflict.
