The Generals due to this, had to try and keep the soldiers" spirits high and allow them to forget the cynical struggle of war and to recuperate in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere. One of the places that soldiers were sent to was a place called Talbot House in the Belgian town of Poperinge. Talbot house was a place where soldiers were able to rest and entertain themselves forgetting the cruelties of war for a period of time. In Talbot House two main rules existed on entry of the House; rank of the person entering did not matter- everyone was equal and, no pessimists were allowed. The house even incorporated a garden, which was extremely rare in the midst of war. .
At present the house is a museum, with the interior of the house being exactly the same of what it was during the war years of 1914-1918.

Nevertheless the German army was the first to give serious study to the development of chemical weapons and the first to use it on a large scale.
In the capture of Neuve Chapelle in October 1914 the German army fired shells at the French, which contained a chemical irritant whose result was to induce a violent fit of sneezing. Three months later, on 31 January 1915, the Germans deployed tear gas for the first time on the Eastern Front.
