The French Trench Raiders Were Way Worse Than You Thought (Full Story) (WW1)

In the tight, suffocating space of a First World War trench, a group of French raiders move forward through deep mud and narrow earth walls, their faces hidden behind crude early gas masks that give them an almost unnatural appearance. These masks were some of the first attempts to protect soldiers from chemical weapons, but they were uncomfortable, unreliable, and often terrifying to wear. Each man carries a rifle fitted with a bayonet, stepping carefully through the trench as the ground shifts beneath them and the walls rise close on either side. #ww1 #history #war #military #education This is the forgotten side of history.
