The story of one of the most ominous days in warfare - 22 April 1915 - when the Germans first used poison gas, opening a sinister new era in warfare.

22 April 1915 was a sinister date in the history of warfare. For it was then that chemical warfare - long prepared by all modern countries but never used before - was unleashed by the German command. The place was the Ypres salient and the victims French colonial troops who ran like rabbits as the cloud of sinister chlorine gas enveloped their trenches near the village of Langemarck. The flight of the troops from the gas and the casualties it caused opened a yawning seven mile gap in the Allied lines which had to be plugged fast. John Lee's study of this ominous development in military history tells the story of both the Second Battle of Ypres itself and the subsequent development of chemical warfare.
