The possibility of the Germans resorting to the use of gas warfare is not being overlooked by the squadron and to-day schedules of requirements for bringing Anti-gas equipment in the squadron up to full strength were drawn up.
The main difficulty in the past experience of this unit as regards Gas Equipment has been the question of transport of surplus stocks of equipment which are required. A minute in this regard has been submitted to Air Headquarters, Egypt for consideration.
If and when Jerry resorts to Gas Warfare, this unit will be able to play its part in retaliatory measures if necessary as the majority of our Fitter Armourers are at present completing a comprehensive course in the offensive use of gas at HELWAN.
