War in History Vol 20 No 4, 2013, pp.545-556 (53)Summary: Germany was first to use poison gas during the First World War (chlorine gas at Second Ypres, 1915). This article shows that in response and despite not having any significant chemical industry France tried hard to develop protective measures for its troops and to develop offensive weapons.
