Best Answer

Poison gas had been used extensively by both sides in the First World War. Even though it had been relatively ineffective, often causing as much trouble for the side using it as for the enemy, there was no way to be sure it would not be used again. Thus gas masks were issued as a precaution. Michael Montagne
