The necessity for thorough and con-
tinuOus training of troops in gas de-
Tense is shown by a statement proved
by captured German Documents:
The Germans at q certain position
o n the western front knew the British
were planning to deliver a gas at
tack on a German division equipped
with masks. but poorly trained in their
use. In spite of the fact that they
had several days to drill before cOndi-
tons were suitable for the British at
tack, when it was finally made hun
dreds of German casualties resulted.
Many kinds of gases are used in
modern warfare. Some merely affect
the eyes temporarily, and are more
inconvenient than serious. Other gases
are terrible in their effect unless prop
er protection is available. They are
employed in clouds, or in shells,
bombs, and hand ~grenadeS.
1t is the work of the field training
section of the gas defense service to
bring home to the American soldier
the Importance of his gas mask, to
thoroughly drill him in its use and
to inspire confidence in its efficiency.
