This is a haunting image – it looks like something out of a nightmare or an episode of Doctor Who. Captured in northern France in 1916, it actually shows a group of British soldiers getting ready for a quick game of football… despite appearing to be a shot taken at the end of the world!
The reason for the gas masks was due to the fact that the soldiers were concerned about the threat of chemical warfare – this was the era of mustard gas, after all. Indeed, by the end of WWI, over 50,000 tons of gas were used, so who could blame them for their cautious attitude?
