EDITORS COMMENTS
Professional Jealousy: French Tommy - "I don't deny that they've got nice straight legs, but our figures are the more substantial, anyhow." This humorous caption accompanies an image of two soldiers, one identified as French Tommy and the other as Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. The year is 1916 during the First World War. The image captures a lighthearted moment between the two soldiers as they compare their physiques. French Tommy, with a smirk on his face, acknowledges the superiority of the French soldiers' straight legs, but Gibson, with a confident grin, asserts that his own figure is more substantial. The banter between the two soldiers reflects the camaraderie and friendly competition that existed among soldiers during wartime. Gibson, born in September 1889, and French Tommy, whose identity remains unknown, were likely part of the regiments that made up the British Expeditionary Force during the Great War. This historical photograph provides a glimpse into the daily life and interactions of soldiers during this time, offering a unique perspective into military history. The image, which is not for commercial use, is available through Mary Evans Prints Online. It serves as a reminder of the human element of war and the importance of maintaining morale and camaraderie in the face of adversity.
