In the first gas attack launched by British forces prior to their infantry attack that opened the Battle of
Loos, about 140 long tons (140 t) of chlorine gas was released, aimed at the German Sixth Army's positions on
the Hohenzollern Redoubt but in places the gas was blown back by wind onto the trenches of the British First
Army. Due to the inefficiency of the contemporary gas masks, many soldiers removed them as they could not see
through the fogged-up talc eyepieces or could barely breathe with them on. This led to some being affected by
their own gas, as it blew back across their lines or lingered in no man's land,[26] immediately causing the
death of 10 and injury to about 2,000 British soldiers.
