Is any weapon illegal in war? Not if someone can rationalize its use in the given conditions and it helps them win such that they can't be tried in a court convened by the winners as war criminals for using it. History is almost always written by the ones who won the war to make them look good and the losers bad.

According to the Geneva Convention, which existed before World War I, the uses of chemical and biological weapons were deemed illegal. Therefore, mustard gas, nerve gas, and any other type of similar chemical weapon was illegal. (This did not restrict their use, however, as both sides used notoriously high quantities of these.)
