Information: During World War I, the use of chemical weapons such as chlorine gas and mustard gas on the battlefield necessitated the development and widespread adoption of gas masks by military forces. The British Army was among the forces that implemented gas masks to protect their soldiers from the harmful effects of chemical agents.
