British Military Respirators And Anti-Gas Equipment Of The Two World Wars

Poison gas was one of the most fearful weapons of its day. In 1915, the only item a soldier had to protect himself from the harmful effects of gas was a shell dressing, soaked in his own urine and then tied around his face. This book provides a brief history of the development of gas warfare and equipment.
