gas was used by many of the countries if not all of them in World War 1. many countries stockpiled gases such as mustard gas which was used commonly. at first to counter gas soldiers learned that if they peed on a rag and put it over their face it would filter out the gas keeping it from their lungs. than countries started using gas masks that were invented for miners because of all the coal and other things in the air. the way that gas was released onto the battle field at first was by canisters. they would have to wait until the wind was going towards the enemy until they could release it so it wouldn't come back towards them and kill fellow comrades. then they made artillery shells with gas in them.
