Transcription
We were on the, ready to go over the top and they fired this gas, gas and that’s the first, that’s the first attack of gas, and they told us to wet our handkerchiefs and hold it over our mouth. We didn’t have no masks or anything then see so that’s what we did and that’s what saved some of us and a lot of them died and somehow or another I was too tough, too tough. I was a tough guy, you know.
