FRENCH SOLDIERS ARRAYED IN GARGOYLE GUISE
These fantastic figures, somewhat reminiscent of Dore's "Inferno" demons, are French soldiers wearing
anti-poison gas masks and respirators while expecting an attack under cover of a gas cloud.
A more elaborate head-dress to combat the death fumes.
French artillerymen wearing their masks while bombarding a German position.
Infantrymen prepared for poison fumes in a trench of the Argonne. Respirators and
anti-gas masks are fashionable wear in the trenches, "le dernier cri" in war-time modes!
