[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

Offering two books for auction on the subject of Gas Warfare in the First 
World War. Offered with no reserves, because I had beans for lunch (you 
knew I was going to say that, right?).

"GAS AND FLAME IN WORLD WAR I"  By William L. Sanger. Published by Alfred 
A. Knopf in 1965.  This company history follows the men of Company E, 1st 
Gas Regiment through training, across the ocean, and into the trenches of 
France where they fought the last months of the First World War.
Sanger's book was originally published in an extremely limited edition for 
the members of Company E in 1919, using left-over Company funds. This 
reprint includes a new introduction by the author.

"AN ATLAS OF GAS POISONING"  By the Medical Research Committee. "Provided 
for the American Expeditionary Force by the American Red Cross" in 1918.  A 
dramatic and compelling document from World War One. This illustrated study 
treats two types of gas -Phosgene and "Mustard" gas, and the gases' effects 
on various parts of the body. The paintings were made from actual cases, 
and the case histories and their outcomes are described in some 
detail.  The illustrations themselves are rather graphic, and there are 
several that cannot be shown here because of the parts of the body they 
illustrate.  The report was noted as for "Official Use Only", with the 
further note that the "contents must be regarded as confidential and not to 
be communicated to the press."
