This is a tentative study of the gas experience of the 5th Division
during World War I. The study begins with an account of a gas
projector attack against elements of the division before the gas
attack of the Frapelle operation; both enemy attacks are notable
examples of the use of gas in trench warfare.
This study discusses the 26th Division encounter with gas warfare
in the Second Battle of the Marne and covers types of gases,
instruction in warfare, the German version and analyzes the actual
attack.

in the Bois de Bantheville near Flirey and covers types of gases,
military operations, lack of training, and analyzes the actual
attack with the 353rd and 354th Infantry.

Originally published in 1957 by the U.S. Army Chemical Corps
Historical Office. This is a study of the gas experience of the 2nd
Division at Belleau Wood during World War I. It includes a
narrative of the events and analysis. The training received by the
division in gas warfare is discussed.
Rather belatedly, the United States Army in preparing for World War
II investigated on an intensive and very large scale the chemical
munitions that might be necessary or useful in fighting the Axis
powers. This effort required the collaboration of a host of
civilian scientists and research centers as well as a great
expansion of the laboratories and proving grounds of the Chemical
Warfare Service itself. A similar development, recounted at the
beginning of this work, came too late to influence the outcome of
World War I. In World War II, on the other hand, the Army not only
prepared against gas warfare sufficiently well to discourage its
employment by the enemy, but also developed a number of new
chemical weapons that contributed materially to victory. The
authors add perspective and interest to their story by telling very
briefly about corresponding German and Japanese activity. The
manufacture of chemical munitions in quantity was possible only
through a rapid expansion of private industry to support and
supplement the work of Army arsenals. Both necessity and choice led
the Chemical Warfare Service to make widespread use of small
industrial concerns throughout the United States, and the account
of production in this work is especially pertinent to a
consideration of the problems involved in military contracting with
small business on a big scale.
