It was a new form of attack that was used by many countries. The Germans used mustard gas, which caused chemical burns that left lifelong injuries—both internal and external. The gas was a strange, yellow-green cloud that was full of chlorine gas, which would cause severe choking. By the end of the war, both sides were experimenting with different types of poison gas and different ways of getting it into enemy trenches. This would be continued to be used in following wars and cause millions of casualties.  ]]> 2017-11-13 14:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/206266858 135383 https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207036100 “Something hit me on the head, making a big dent in my helmet and raising a bump on my head. If it hadn’t been for my helmet my head would have been cracked. As it was I was dazed, knocked down and my gas mask knocked off. I got several breathes [sic] of the strong solution right from the shell before it got diluted with much air. If it hadn’t been for the fellow with me I probably wouldn’t be writing this letter because I couldn’t see, my eyes were running water and burning, so was my nose and I could hardly breathe. I gasped, choked and felt the extreme terror of the man who goes under in the water and will clutch at a straw. The fellow with me grabbed me and led me the hundred yards or so to the post where the doctor gave me a little stuff and where I became alright again in a few hours except that I was a little intoxicated from the gas for a while. I had other close calls but that was the closest and shook me up most. I think the hardest thing I did was to go back again alone the next night. I had to call myself names before I got up nerve enough.”]]> 2017-11-15 02:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207036100 135383 https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207040131 2017-11-15 03:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207040131 135383 https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207047692 2017-11-15 04:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207047692 135383 https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207048332 2017-11-15 04:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207048332 135383 https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207049019 2017-11-15 04:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207049019 135383 https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207049590 The French were the first to use poison gas in WWI. 
Soldiers closest to the the ground suffered the most from chlorine poison gas attacks.
Animals would also have to be protected from the gas.
Masks were developed for animals.
In certain climates, gases would disperse quickly.
The most gas was used by Germany, France and Britain.]]> 2017-11-15 04:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/rm18ois59tdy/wish/207049590
