"The Use of Asphyxiating Gas Legitimate" - The Horrors of the Poison War -The War Illustrated 1915

https://archive.org/details/TWI1915pt... This appears to be a piece of black propaganda, making claims which appear to be almost entirely untrue. I found the book cited online, but it's behind a pay-wall. Is this some lost fact Wikipedia's articles on the topic declare the use of gas to be a war-crime by all parties involved. Their sources leave a lot to be desired, however. Despite the parties not signing the Treaty, and the terms of the Treaty having excluded the situation of the war, it seems our modern history tells a different story than a chronicler of the time. Whatever the case, it's an interesting article to be found in what was essentially State Propaganda. The extreme extent of that propaganda campaign will be the subject of a future video. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A possible explanation (which creates as many problems for the story as it solves): As the sun went down after the 1862 Battle of Shiloh during the Civil War, some soldiers noticed that their wounds were glowing a faint blue. Many men waited on the rainy, muddy Tennessee battlefield for two days that April, until medics could treat them. Once they were taken to field hospitals, the troops with glowing wounds were more likely to survive their injuries — and to get better faster. Thus the mysterious blue light was dubbed “Angel’s Glow.” P. luminescens live inside nematodes, tiny parasitic worms that burrow into insect larvae in the soil or on plants. Once rooted in the larvae, the nematodes vomit up the bacteria, which release chemicals that kill the host larvae and any other microorganisms living inside them. P. luminescens can’t survive at normal human body temperature. But they figured out that sitting on the cold, wet ground for two days had lowered the wounded soldiers’ body temperature. So when the nematodes from the muddy soil got into the wounds, the bacteria had the right environment to thrive — and to save the men’s lives by cleaning out other, more dangerous germs.
