You don't put gas into gas masks. They are used to keep out poisonous gases.
Soldiers in the trenches got gas masks after the need became apparent. Chlorine gas was first used by the Germans on April 22, 1915. Mustard gas was used in 1917. 30,000 died from the gas and 50,000 troops were injured because of gas use. Gas masks did not work with mustard gas because that burns the skin.Here is a first hand account of gas warfare.http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/gas.htmhttp://chemicalweapons.cenmag.org/when-chemicals-became-weapons-of-war/

Gas masks.
The first gas masks used in World War I were developed by various inventors, but one of the most notable figures was British chemist John Scott Haldane, who contributed significantly to their design and effectiveness. The first large-scale use of gas masks occurred after the introduction of chemical warfare in 1915. Haldane's work, along with advancements by others, led to the development of more effective protective gear for soldiers exposed to toxic gases on the battlefield.
