Gas Masks and Gas Warfare From World War I Through the 1940s
Photographs dating from about 1915 through the 1940s document military and civilian efforts to protect against gas attacks. World War I scenes show French, Belgian, British, German, Russian and U.S. troops wearing or demonstrating masks, along with protective equipment for horses, gas-attack alarms and clouds released over the battlefield. Later scenes show civilian precautions and military training between the wars and during World War II. They include a Birmingham family wearing masks around 1940, an air-raid precautions warden with a family, children using masks, a gas-proof baby carriage, a demonstration in Civitavecchia, Italy, U.S. Army nurses with M3 masks, a member of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and soldiers of the 442nd Infantry Regiment.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Something about seeing a bunch of people in everyday situations with gas masks is unsettling

Re: Gas Masks and Gas Warfare From World War I Through the 1940s
We would drive around with surplus store gasmasks when I was a teen. edit: Also, when I was in the military, Interspiro made a version of our breathing apparatus that also had a gas mask attachment... why put a gas mask attachment on a positive pressure breathing mask? I HAVE NO IDEA... anyways, they had the charcoal canister on the end of a snorkus and a hook to put the snorkus on which was attached to the head harness of the mask. Flaw #1: the head harness goes UNDER your nomex hood thereby negating the use of the snorkus hook. Flaw #2: the snorkus hook was very fragile and would break if looked at. Flaw #3: the charcoal canister would get suctioned onto your firefighting gear when used. Interspiro for the lose. |
