During World War I, soldiers used various methods to protect themselves from gas attacks, including improvising gas masks from cloth or other materials soaked in chemicals like bicarbonate of soda. Some soldiers also sought refuge in dugouts or trenches, which provided some level of protection from gas clouds. Additionally, troops were trained to quickly seal off their positions and use available equipment, such as respirators, when gas alarms sounded. Overall, these measures were often rudimentary and highlighted the inadequacy of early protective gear against chemical warfare.

Soldiers stayed in dug outs. They were dug out of the sides of the trenches,(hence the name) they went down to almost 10 feet sometimes. Usually they were where soldiers slept, waited, and took refuge from artillery/mortars. Some of them had gas curtains, but it was not uncommon to have a full dug out gassed because of the remnants of a gas raid on a soldier's clothes/boots. Which the gas curtain prevented from escaping.
