Summary

Description
English: A sentry watching for any sign of gas attacks. He is squatting beside a notice which reads, 'gas gong'. The gong appears to be a large metal drum, like an oil drum. The drumstick is hanging from a string tied to the notice.

The fear of gas is described in Wilfred Owen's poem, 'Dulce et Decorum est', ' GAS! Gas! Quick, boys! .. An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling / And floundering like a man in fire or lime .. Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light / As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.'
[Original reads: 'The Gas Sentry.']
