Abstract
IN NATURE of February 15, Mr. Arthur Marshall contributes an article on the ” Gases of War” in which he says of mustard gas ” attempts were made to work out a method of manufacture. This was found to be far from easy, and [a] no mustard gas of British or American manufacture was actually fired in the War. [b] The French were more successful, and in the last months before the Armistice their [c] yperite was used by them and [d] the British, causing severe casualties to the enemy”.
