EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of truth as a ration wagon, laden with supplies, makes its way up to the frontline trenches during the First World War. The scene is set in a muddy and desolate landscape, with the ominous shadows of the trenches looming in the background. At the helm of the wagon is Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson (386202), a brave member of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. Born in September 1889, Gibson and his comrades played a vital role in providing essential medical aid and sustenance to the soldiers on the frontline. The First World War was a time of immense hardship and sacrifice, with soldiers enduring harsh conditions and long periods without proper food or medical care. The arrival of a ration wagon, like the one in this photograph, was a welcome sight for the weary and hungry troops. The image of Gibson, dressed in his military uniform and wearing the Military Medal (MM) decoration, conveys a sense of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during the Great War, and the crucial role that the medical services played in supporting the troops on the frontline. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the realities of life in the trenches during the First World War. It is a powerful reminder of the bravery and dedication of the soldiers and medical personnel who served during this time, and the importance of remembering their sacrifices.
