Diary Entry - 9th September, 1916

Bee and I attended the anti-gas school at nine thirty. It was about twenty minutes walk from the WL. The man who lectured was a keen old fusilier about 45 years old and he looked as if he had been a chemist in civilian life. During the morning, we were shown the new box respirator and shown all its advantages and how it was cribbed from the Bosches' mask respirator.
