Isn’t chlorine a component of mustard gas? I don’t know much about chemical warfare but this story made me wonder about Britain’s chemical warfare development since then. And then I thought how coincidental that the movie Dunkirk has just been released and is playing on circuit.

Yes, Chlorine is part of Mustard Gas. Mustard Gas is ClCH2CH2)2S and they wouldnt have had just breathing problems, they’d have had big pustules and burn marks all over their bodies.. Its pretty gruesome stuff..
Sounds like an appalling and tortuous death. Once again, morality missing from “scientific development”.
the Morality was.. this kills more people quicker than aiming and firing. Problem solved.
It is indeed tortous and painful.. AS Dr F found out, the Russians threaten to use this on Germans at Sebastopol because they were getting hammered by Air-Powder Bombs.. seeing as it was the Germans who invented this back in WW1, the threat was effective enough, that the Germans went back to ‘conventional methods”.. so Bayonnets, Rifles.. Axes.. sharp sticks.. that’s ok..
What a depraved world we live in where the “leaders” give themselves the choice of bad or terrible.
This story of a “chlorine cloud” crossing the Channel is strange, considering the constant winds and the presence of water. Sounds like propagand from World War I, when it would have been blamed on the Germans…
UI wonder if some Amercian Frigate carrying Chlorine was going through the Channel.. Maybe got rammed by a wooden fishing boat from spain and promptly sunk…
