Weapons of War-Poison gas Considered uncivilised prior to World war One the development and use of poison gas was necessitated by the requirement of wartime armies to find new ways of overcoming the stalemate of unexpected trench warfare.
First Use by The french Although it is believed popularly that the German army was the first to use gas it was deployed in fact initially by The french.
Nevertheless the German army was the first to give serious study to the development of chemical weapons
Initial German Experiments In the capture of Neuve Chapelle in October 1914 the German army fired shells at The french which contained a chemical irritant
Puzzled but suspicious The french suspected that the cloud masked an advance by German infantry and ordered their men to'stand to'that is to mount the trench fire step in readiness for probable attack.
The cloud did not mask an infantry attack however; at least not yet. It signalled in fact the first use of chlorine gas on the battlefield.
German infantry did advance into the gap but nervously and with hesitance. Outflanking the Canadian
A mixture of smoke and chlorine gas was released intermittently over a period of about 40 minutes before the infantry assault began.
and the resultant infantry attack similarly failed. The Need for a New Delivery Mechanism Although it was The british who chiefly suffered on 25 september 1915 all three chief armies-Britain France
and Germany-suffered similar self-inflicted gas reversals during 1915. It became apparent that if gas was to be used a more reliable delivery mechanism was called for.
it was adopted consequently by both German and Allied armies. Phosgene often had delayed a effect; apparently healthy soldiers were taken down with phosgene gas poisoning up to 48 hours after inhalation.
The french army occasionally made use of a nerve gas obtained from prussic acid. However three forms of gas remained the most widely used:
The German army ended the war as the heaviest user of gas. It is suggested that German use reached 68000 tons;
