WWI Gassing

I ran across a man (not related) who went into the Pacific Colony in the early 1900s.  He died in 1922 from epilepsy and psychosis.  He was married less than ten years earlier and had a small child when he died.  My heart was breaking for him.  Because he captured my interest, I did a little more research on him.  It turns out he was gassed in WWI.  With what is going on in Syria today, this haunts me even more.
