FOOTNOTES:[20]Official British report, April 27, 1915. No poisonous gases or bombs had been used by the Allies prior to this time.[21]This anticipates a little the development of poisonous gases. Some of these forms were not in use until 1917.[22]This is the main principle. It is to be remembered that new devices are constantly being experimented with and put into use on the front.[23]The Allies refrained from using asphyxiating gases for several months, but by 1918, they had attained superiority in their use.[24]First used in the spring of 1917.[25]This gas was a development of 1918; it is known asgas vesical.
