WW1 Gas Masks

The coolest thing in the box was the gas mask this was cool because it came with a handsome caring case, it fit around your neck and hung down to the side of you so that it would not interfere with the soldiers weaponry well in battle. the peruses of the mask was to help Canadian soldiers with mustered gas attacks . The mask would filter the gas out of the air so they could breath. Another thing in the box was a gas rattler what it did was when any one in the Canadian  trenches would smell gas they would sound the rattler to warn all other Canadian soldiers to put there gas masks on.

  1. I think it's funny that you said "it came with a handsome caring case" - it made it sound like an advertisement or something from a fashion run way. Good job connecting two different things from the box as to how they would have been used together.
    I have a picture of you in the gas mask. Can we add it to your post?
