Gas Blindness is when someone is blinded through poisonous gas, these gases include tear gas, mustard gas, etc...

These have great effects on the war and changed the old trench warfare, but turned it into a gas war. Germany was the first to produce large scale gas canisters, they were shipped to the destination and dropped from plane, when in contact with the ground the gas explodes.

The first early gas mask were too small. Then a more effective gas mask was developed, but failed to protect the wearer from High Security gases.

Mustard gas is a deadly gas that will attack any exposed flesh, rotting it and eating away at it. It was deadly and millions of soldiers were blinded or died.
