J. M. Auld is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book provides an in-depth examination of the development and use of gas warfare during World War I, focusing particularly on the introduction of poison gases such as chlorine and phosgene by German forces. It highlights the challenges faced by soldiers and military leaders in adapting to this new form of combat, emphasizing the importance of training and effective gas defense measures. At the start of the narrative, Auld recounts the initial skepticism surrounding rumors of gas attacks among soldiers stationed in the trenches, illustrating their surprise at the first significant gas assault in April 1915. Through vivid descriptions, he conveys the panic and confusion that ensued as the gas cloud enveloped troops, leading to devastating casualties. The opening portion also discusses the early preparations made by the German military, detailing scientific advancements in gas production and the tactical decisions that enabled these attacks. This sets the stage for Auld's subsequent analysis of gas warfare’s impact on military strategy and the urgent need for protective measures.
