Operation AXIOM: The World War—The Second Battle of Ypres, Part I
22-23 April 1915: The Battle of Gravenstafel Ridge—the first use of poison gas on the Western Front, by the Germans against French Colonial (Algerian & Moroccan) & Canadian troops.







Lest we forget.

Commentary: We here at "The Explorers' Club" strive to bring you, our dear readers & fellow explorers, a wide variety of images, meaning we try not to duplicate the photographs & graphics available from the Wikipedia, but some, such as this episode's first image, are so evocative that they virtually demand our usage.
