"Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!" How Chemistry Changed the First World War

11 September 2014, Cambridge, United Kingdom


Introduction
Michael Freemantle will describe how "The Great War” was a Chemists' War. Chemistry underpinned military strategy and determined the shape, duration and outcome of the First World War. Chemistry was not only a destructive instrument of war but also protected troops, and healed the sick and wounded. From bullets to bombs, poison gases to anaesthetics, khaki to cordite, Chemistry played a pivotal role in the trenches, in the casualty clearing stations and military hospitals, in the tunnelling operations in the air, and at sea.
