British troops in trenches don gas masks after hearing a warning by a Strombos horn on the Western Front in World War I

British troops in deep trenches lined with woven branches, on the Western Front in World War 1. Slate refers to gas alarm with Strombos horn. British soldiers immediately don their gas masks and take up defensive firing positions in their trench. Gas fumes are seen drifting over the trench. View from the trench, of gas cloud over No-Man's land, with barbed wire and some snow on the ground. [Note: The Strombos horn,was operated by compressed air and could be heard for several miles. But as use of gas shells increased, and such attacks tended to be localized, other alarms were employed, instead, such as metal shell cases, steel triangles, watchmen's rattles, klaxon horns, etc.] (World War I; World War 1; WWI; WW1)

French soldiers engaged in trench warfare, during World War I

French troops engage Germans (not seen) from trenches only 40 feet apart, during World War 1. explosions create a line of white smoke in background, as French troops are photographed in a deep trench by camera from above. Glimpse of a French Schneider 240 mm howitzer firing. Shells striking and heavy white smoke rising. French troops in a deep trench, lined with woven wood sticks. They use a grenade launcher to propel ball grenades. Grenades striking and raising clouds of white smoke. A French soldier by several canisters placed in a trench. He ignites one that begins to emit white smoke. He quickly leaves the trench as all the canisters ignite and generate large clouds of white gas that drifts toward the German trenches. Views from evacuated position of the gas rising and drifting. Several French artillerymen firing a heavy gun. They run to the rear of the gun as it fires and some cover their ears. More views of the gas drifting toward German trenches. A German shell explodes on or near the French trench where the gas is being generated. A battery of French 120mm long guns mounted on railway flat cars. They fire tear gas shells. View of the same trenches shown earlier, with gas continuing to cloud the area, and a shell exploding in the midst of it. French soldiers in a fortified position,load,tighten,and release a grenade launcher, propelling a grenade toward German positions. An Aasen mortar (Mortier Aasen) 3.5-inch (88.9-mm) gun-mortar firing gas shells from a trench. White smoke rising from shell strikes.

French submarine and features of torpedoes, in World War I

French armament men display a torpedo suspended by a sling from a hoist on a dock in World War 1. They rotate it around for the camera. A submarine is seen tied up to an adjacent dock in the background. The next scene shows the bubble wake of a compressed air driven torpedo seen from a boat tracking it as it moves through the water. Next sequence is taken from aboard a French submarine underway on the surface. A structure and point of land is seen. Then, officers and sailors are seen on the boat's deck. Scene then reverts to the torpedo on the dock, where closeup of its counter-rotating propellers are shown while being tested with a compressed air motor. Men show how the horizontal and vertical fins can be adjusted to control the path of the torpedo. An exploding cutter is shown, designed to penetrate defensive nets. A man screws the cutter into the nose of the torpedo. (WWI; WW1)
