Original Item: Only One Available. With the introduction of poison gas during WWI Trench Warfare, every country quickly developed and fielded protective gas masks. This is a nice “Small Box Respirator” gas mask, complete with its connecting hose, filter canister, and khaki canvas haversack. The mask is constructed of khaki rubberized cloth, with clear glass eyepieces and black elastic harness. The rubber mouthpiece inside connected to the cloth covered rubber connector tube. This then connects mouthpiece to the plated tin canister.

First introduced in August 1916 and standard issue by the spring of 1917, the Small Box Respirator was the most advanced and practical anti-gas development used by British and Dominion forces in the First World War. The respirator consisted of a face mask with glass eye-pieces, and was connected to a metal ‘small box’ filter (containing containing active charcoal and granules)

This example is complete, though as with many rubber items close to a century old, it is now quite stiff and delicate, so we do not recommend trying to display it on a mannequin. There are faded markings on the inside of the haversack, however we are unfortunately not able to decipher them, except for the 1917 date and broad arrow.

A lovely British Gas mask from THE GREAT WAR, ready to display!
