EDITORS COMMENTS
Early gas masks, First World War, 1915 (1935). Creator: Unknown. This print takes us back to the harrowing days of the First World War. In this image, we witness one of the earliest patterns of gas masks being used by soldiers on the front lines. The introduction of chemical warfare during this time brought about a desperate need for protection against deadly gases. The men in the photograph wear improvised gas masks made from pads of cotton-wool soaked in a solution of common washing-soda. Their eyes are shielded with goggles as they stand stoically amidst the chaos and destruction that war has wrought upon them. The image is taken from 'The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures', published by Odhams Press Ltd. in London, 1935. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of the technological advancements made during times of conflict but also highlights human ingenuity and improvisation when faced with unimaginable circumstances. As we gaze upon these brave soldiers, their makeshift protection symbolizes both resilience and vulnerability. They embody an era where survival meant adapting to new forms of warfare while clinging onto hope for a better future. This photograph stands as a testament to those who fought valiantly during World War I and serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst darkness, humanity finds ways to endure.
