: A poignant moment in the history of the First World War, captured in this evocative photograph. The image depicts Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, during the early days of the Great War. Born in September 1889, Gibson is seen here in a moment of intense focus, as he carefully positions a machine gun on a makeshift mounting, or 'dump,' in the midst of the battlefield. The photograph, taken during the early stages of the war, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life and challenges faced by medical personnel on the front lines. The 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance was a vital component of the British Expeditionary Force, providing essential medical support to the troops during the brutal fighting in France and Belgium.
