EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment of respite for Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson (386202), of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, as he receives treatment for a head wound during the chaotic and brutal days of the First World War. Born in September 1889, Gibson, a member of the Manchester Regiment before transferring to the medical corps, would have witnessed the horrors of the Western Front firsthand. The image, taken with a keen attention to detail, reveals the intricacies of the medical dressing applied to Gibson's wound, as well as the concern and care of the medical personnel attending to him. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the vital role of medical personnel in saving lives and providing comfort to the wounded. The image, part of the extensive collection of historical photographs from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the experiences of soldiers during the Great War, and the important work of the medical corps in treating their injuries. This photograph is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for rights-managed licensing only.
