Poison gas was also a new weapon at this time. Cavalry was deployed alongside tanks at first, but tanks eventually took over the role of shock combat. In 1917, tanks, which could crush barbed wire and deflect machine gun fire, were introduced. Trenches, shell-holes, barbed wire and machine guns proved deadly to both horses and riders and cavalry charges became ineffective. It was the changing nature of warfare that rendered traditional cavalry useless on the Western Front. The horse gas mask reflects some of the technological changes that occurred during the First World War. Both the Germans and the British used gas as a weapon during the First World War. The provenance of this gas mask is unknown, but it is thought to be a German model, collected by a British soldier perhaps as a souvenir. Gas masks issued to soldiers protected the eyes as well as the nose and mouth as some gases could cause blindness as well as pneumonia. Horses were less vulnerable than humans to the effects of gas. As with early gas masks used by the soldiers, it is likely that the fabric was soaked in a chemical such as phenol or sodium hyposulphite to neutralise the gas. The mask does not have a canister attached to filter out the gas. The open end has leather straps which were used to fit the mask on the horse’s head and metal fittings that were attached to the horse’s bridle.
