Description

Gassed! Navy Medicine and the poison gas threat of World War I
By André B. Sobocinski
Historian, U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery

At 0400 on April 13, 1918 shouts of “Gas attack!” could be heard across Camp Fontaine-St. Robert in the Verdun Sector of France. Located two miles from the front, this wooden hollow served as the makeshift quarters for 300 Marines and Sailors of the 74th Company, 6th Marine Regiment. Over the next four hours the unit was bombarded with yellow and blue gas shells and high explosives. Two hospital corpsmen—Pharmacist’s Mate Third Class Fred Schaffner and Hospital Apprentice First Class Carl Kingsbury—worked under the cloak of morning darkness aiding victims and moving them to higher
ground.
