| Details |
WW1 - The British army charging under cover a cloud of gas smoke, using the German Infantry's battle tactics against them. In the war-damaged battle ground landscape between Loos and LA Bassee, two officers are seen observing the operation from afar. The gas cloud was described to have been "heavier than any London fog", the idea was to bewilder the enemy to drive them out of their trenches.
