What a fabulous presentation, and what a collection - so much knowledge and information imparted so clearly in just eight minutes or so. I could watch these all day, every day. Thanks for sharing your amazing - and unmatched - GWH collection. note: you failed to mention that the Tube Helmet also trims your hair while you’re wearing it - I didn’t know that…..
Thank you very much, Fenella, we really appreciate your kind comments and congratulations! You are the first person to spot our cheeky haircut! We thought it would be a bit of fun! 😆
It's surprising how simple and effective the gas hoods were considering how quickly they were brought into service; necessity being the mother of invention at its finest! Another excellent video, thanks.
Excellent explanation on gas hoods. My G Grandad's cousin was killed in 2nd Ypres with 1st KORL and I've never concluded if he was involved in the 1st gas attack. Can we please have a few more days before Christmas. The series is great.
Dr. MacPherson was a Canadian. Well, he was born a Newfoundlander but died a Canadian, since Newfoundland became a province of Canada in 1949 and he died in 1966.
With training most fellas had no problem with the hoods. They were cumbersome but you could certainly see to aim rifles. Running was harder of course, but everyone was in the same position, including the Germans.
Excellent very informative thank you Taff
Our pleasure, Alan!
Great on depth description Taff. Thanks.
Thanks, Rick!

Thanks, Nathan!

Presentations like this give you a much deeper appreciation for what the men endured during The Great War. May they all rest in peace.
Our pleasure 👍🏻

Our pleasure, Andy. Thank you very much. 👍
Wow ! That has got to be one of the most comprehensive explanations of the gas hoods on the Web anywhere. Well done GWH team ! 👏
Thank you very much indeed, Mo! It’s a bit longer than most HutVents but we thought it was worth doing. 😊
Excellent +++ Thanks
Thank you very much indeed, Kate
Thanks. An in depth useful video! Would love to see more.
Thank you very much, James!
Fascinating as always Taff, it’s just a dreadful shame that hutvent is only limited to December!
Thank you very much, Zac, but you wouldn't say that if you had to film and edit it!!
Excellent
Thank you very much, Bobbie!

You have three more!

He certainly was. There is only so much you can squeeze into a few minutes!
I used wear S10 Respirator in 1990s.
we thought they misted up and were horrible. lol
What’s it like inside the hood - as in how easily could you shoot, run, etc. ?
