#1915 GERMAN GAS MASK SERIES#
This entry is part 2 of a 10-part series on World War I. Excellent Reproduction German WW1 Gas Masks. I've gathered photographs of the Great War from dozens of collections, some digitized for the first time, to try to tell the story of the conflict, those caught up in it, and how much it affected the world.

The use of chlorine gas in the Battle of Ypres and further. The use of poison gas began at the Battle of Ypres on April 22, 1915, when the Germans used newly developed chlorine gas on the French. Following the German use of poisonous gas at Ypres on April 22nd, 1915, it became a common feature of World War I warfare, necessitating the wearing of gas masks among soldiers on both sides. When we think of World War I, images of the bloody, muddy Western Front are generally what come to mind. This is a German GM17 gas mask used beginning in 1917 in response to chemical warfare exercised by both sides of the Western Front.
