EDITORS COMMENTS
- A poignant moment in the bustling streets of London during the early 20th century, captured in this evocative photograph. In the heart of the city, we find Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson, MM, 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, lost in thought as he gazes at a map spread before him. Born in September 1889, Gibson would have been a young man during the height of the Great War, serving valiantly on the battlefields of World War I. The worn uniform and weary expression on Gibson's face speak to the challenges and hardships he and countless others faced during those tumultuous times. The iconic sights of London, such as the Tower Bridge and the Houses of Parliament, serve as a stark contrast to the somber scene unfolding. As the war raged on, soldiers like Gibson would have taken any opportunity to return to the familiar comforts of home, even if it meant getting lost in the labyrinthine streets of London. This photograph offers a glimpse into the human side of history, reminding us of the individual stories that make up the larger narrative of the past. Herbert Gibson's service record is a testament to the courage and resilience of the men and women who served during the Great War. His story, and the stories of countless others like him, continue to inspire and captivate us, as we strive to understand the rich history of the regiments and military traditions that have shaped our world." This evocative photograph, titled "Sights of London: Jack Loses His Way," offers a poignant reminder of the human side of history, as we reflect on the experiences of Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson and the many soldiers who served during the Great War.
