- Description
- Standing in a trench, an unidentified Australian soldier models the type of gas mask used in the trenches. The wraparound cloth mask featured a carbon filter (in a unit in the bag attached to the soldier's uniform) that removed impurities from the air. Note the fob watch on the soldier's wrist.
