U. S. Army Chemical Corps Historical Studies, Gas Warfare in World War I: The 89th Division Comes Into the Line August 1918

Abstract

The gas attack on the 89th Division on the night of 7 - 8 August while relieving the 82nd was, it was later reported with mingled pride and exaggeration, "unofficially said by an official of the French Research Gas Commission to be the second largest gas attack of the war." It was not that, of course, but for a single punishing bombardment it was certainly one of the most successful mustard gas attacks of the war against American troops.
