The effects of the gases woul be vomiting, coughing, running sore eyes, nose, mouth, lungs and long term health problems if you were lucky enough not to die.

What does 'bitter as the cud' in Wilfred Owen's 'Dulce et Decorum Est' mean?
It is an anti-war poem knocking the pro-war sacrifice idea of the title roughly Sweet and honorable- or decorous. Bitter as the cud may refer to the aftertaste of a chemical warfare attack-which is documented in the poem- Then Gas, gas, quick boys- an ecstasy of fumbling, fitting the clumsy helmets just in time ( maybe his had a leak!) and that is where the clumsy nature of the gas mask ( poetically referred to as a helmet) may have taken up a bitter aftertaste. that is my guess. Begin with the simple and work then to the more complicated. "Cud" is food that is brought up from a ruminant's stomach to be chewed again, since it did not digest the first time. In a manner, this speaks of what to humans would be vomit, which is quite "bitter." The soldier didn't get his mask on in time before the mustard gas hit him, and physically produced the "vile, incurable sores" on his tongue. But the "cud" goes more deeply in meaning than that. It could, as well, be the words that the soldier said, the "vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues," that he otherwise would never have uttered, as he died from the gas.
How is it achieved Dulce ET Decorum Est?
"Dulce et Decorum Est" are the first words of a Latin saying (taken from an ode by Horace). The words were widely understood and often quoted at the start of the First World War. They mean "It is sweet and right." The full saying ends the poem: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - it is sweet and right to die for your country. In other words, it is a wonderful and great honour to fight and die for your country. "Dulce et Decorum Est" is one of the best known poems of the First World War. It was written by English poet and soldier Wilfred Owen, who was killed in action on 4 November 1918 during the crossing of the Sambre-Oise Canal, exactly one week (almost to the hour) before the signing of the Armistice. The poem describes a gas attack during World War I and is one of his many anti-war poems that were not published until after the war ended. DULCE ET DECORUM EST Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime... Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.
