Text from page 789 reads - The photograph here given was taken by a Russian airman in flight, and shows the beginning of a gas-attack made by the Germans. The poisonous clouds are seen as they are rolling towards the Russian lines after liberation from cylinders worked by the men seen behind the fumes. Behind them are troops waiting to follow up on the attack.
