Gas had been used a great deal in the First World War and many soldiers had died or been injured in gas attacks. Mustard gas was the most deadly of all the poisonous chemicals used during World War I. It was almost odourless (could not be smelt easily) and took 12 hours to take effect. It was so powerful that only small amounts needed to be added to weapons like high explosive shells to have devastating effects.

During World War II, governments urged civilians to carry gas masks as a precaution against potential gas attacks, which were a significant threat during warfare. These masks were essential for protecting individuals from toxic chemical agents that could be deployed by enemy forces. The fear of such attacks, as seen in World War I, led to widespread preparation efforts, emphasizing public safety and readiness. Additionally, having gas masks on hand helped to maintain morale by reassuring the populace that they were protected against one of the war's most terrifying threats.
