22nd April 1915
German has a new war tactic - using Chlorine Gas, a poisonous substance, on enemy trenches.
The second Battle of Ypres has begun on the Western Front.
The German use of poison gas would have catastrophic consequences and would kill or injure thousands of men before the end of the war. Some soldiers, once back at home after the war, were a shadow of their former self, some unable to see or breathe properly and many bedridden.
