Combat in World War I. U.S. Army 7th Field Artillery troops firing mustard gas shells. American soldiers fighting while under gas attack.

American gunners of the 7th Field Artllery fire mustard gas shells from a French 75 field piece in a sandbagged revetment at Varmaise in Oise, France, on July 5, 1918. As they rapid fire, traces of mustard gas emerge from their gun, so they all don their personal gas masks, and continue firing the gas shells. Change of scene shows American troops at a trench in a field, donning gas masks when warned of a German gas attack. With gas masks in place, they commence firing a trench mortar. A string of explosions is seen in the distance, presumably from a number of mortars firing. Scene shifts, again, to troops wearing gas masks, firing their Springfield rifles, from their trench. It appears that they are following a reported World War I practice of loading their magazines to capacity with a 5-round stripper clip, and then firing only single rounds, with the magazine cutoff in "off," to save the reserve for emergencies.
