How Stuff Works. "How Biological and Chemical Warfare Works." 2002. <http://www.howstuffworks.com/Biochem-war.htm>(10 January 2003). Roman Legions regularly used burning sulphur (SO2, SO3, H2S, H2SO4(in rain/fog) to at least irritate, incapacitate, or at best, kill enemies in immobile situations; fortified towns, settlements against geographic barriers; islands, cliffs, bodies of water, etc. Opinions differ as to whether the Legions developed poison gas themselves, or if their own survivors/allies reported how to use it after hard experience. Similarly, opinions differ about the logistics and practicality of raw sulphur transport, and the (un)liklihood of a somewhat bulky(and nasty)materiel being cheerfully carried by a notoriously lightly-packed Legionnaire. It is possible that free, native, naturally-occurring sulphur deposits were scouted, as would have been other staples, like water, wood, game, etc., and if present, utilized, from a point upwind any immovable objective.

Germany's use of Mustard gas in WW1 is the commonly listed event.

[Note: Not mustard gas. Chlorine gas. At Ypres in France, April 22, 1915. And this is just the first large-scale instance in Modern times of poison gas.]

In Canada (where I learned History), Britain, and France, the teachers and textbooks say that the Germans used poison gas in the battle of Ypres, however I have heard that Germans deny the use of this.

\--

Both sides used poison gas. The Second Battle of Ypres saw the first use on the Western Front. 5,700 canisters containing 168 tons of chlorine gas were released by the German troops on Apr. 22. A second batch was released 2 days later against Canadian troops.
