    RARELY SEEN VIEW OF AN
    ACTUAL
    ENEMY POISON GAS CLOUD ATTACK ON THE GERMAN FRONT LINES TRENCHES IN A VALLEY IN FRANCE. IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER YOU CAN SEE THE POISON GAS CLOUD LAYING LOW NEAR THE GROUND IN THE VALLEY. IN THE LOWER EDGE OF THE IMAGE GERMAN SOLDIERS ARE SEEN MOVING UP AND PERCHED ON HIGHER GROUND. (CHLORINE GAS AS WELL AS SOME OTHER MIXTURES WAS HEAVIER THEN AIR AND WOULD SINK INTO LOW LYING AREAS AND DOWN INTO THE TRENCHES.)
    ON THE REVERSE IS A PERIOD PENCILED DESCRIPTION OF THE CHEMICAL ATTACK IN OLD GERMAN SCRIPT.
    THE CONDITION IS VERY FINE WITH VERY GOOD FOCUS AND CONTRAST.
