"We were nearly suffocated by gas...which was like pea soup" and "we were having a devil of a time with our Ross rifles."~At Festubert Copping was issued a new gas mask and "went over the top" to take K5. At Hill 60 Copping states, "We got the worst bombardment I have ever experienced." "They just about wiped us right out."
