EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I, a surprising sight unfolds in this photograph. Somewhere in France, 386202 Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, dons the latest rig out fur coats, a seemingly incongruous addition to his military uniform. The image, taken during the Great War, challenges the conventional notion of what it means to be a soldier. Born in September 1889, Gibson, a British soldier, stands with an air of confidence and defiance against the backdrop of the war-torn landscape. The fur coats, reminiscent of a wolf in sheep's clothing, offer a striking contrast to the grim surroundings. The coats, perhaps a luxury acquired during a brief leave or a thoughtful gift, serve as a reminder of the complexities and contrasts of life during wartime. The Northumbrian Field Ambulance, part of the Royal Army Medical Corps, was responsible for providing medical assistance to wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Gibson, with his military rank and medical background, would have been an essential member of the team, saving lives amidst the chaos and carnage of the war. This photograph, a poignant snapshot of history, offers a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during WWI. It invites us to reflect on the human experience of war, the contrasts and complexities that define it, and the resilience and adaptability of those who lived through it.
