WWI Gas Attacks
I'm watching Paths to Glory and I noticed that even though they mention gas attacks we don't see any in the movie and its not the first WWI movie that doesn't have gas attacks. I had some views of WWI that gas attacks were frequent and nightmarish. Anyone have any info on the frequency and effectiveness of gas attacks.
Wherever you go, there you are.

Just a tidbit you might find interesting. In the 1980's I received an NBC Warfare Journal in the mail. Not sure how I got on the mailing list, but anyway they had an article about the persistance of chemical weapons. There was a story about a farmer someone in France I think. He cut down a tree on his property and sat on the stump. His but blistered from the agents still inside the tree. ( This was in the 70's I think. ) Dunno if its urban rumor or not. Just thought it was interesting.
As for chemical attacks, they where horrible. Imagine having to watch a fellow soldier die , choking on his own blood and bits of lung because he was not fast enough to put on the mask.
