Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This trench, which is not very wide or deep, has been roofed over to provide a cover for the bell which is the gas alarm. The soldier who is ringing the bell is wearing a heavy coat and gloves. There is snow on the ground. The graffiti on the bell reads, 'duck ye nut'.

Gas-releasing weapons were developed during World War I and eventually became commonly used in attacks. The results were painful and horrific.
[Original reads: 'Gas alarm in the front line.']
