I have today replied to a BBC researcher, providing full details of
Churchill and "poison gas" on Bolsheviks, Iraqis and Nazi Germany. This
could be adapted to our series of "Leading Churchill Myths." Text available
by email offline.
I also posted a riposte on the Guardian website:
Clever photo. I can see that circulating all over the web with the caption,
"Winston Churchill and gas bomb cannisters."
I read this carefully looking for where the M-Devices in 1919 caused
massive deaths, like Saran in Syria...maybe I missed it.
It was Iraq, not India, where Churchill advocated the use of "poison gas"
against rebellious tribesman--by which he meant tear gas ("lachrymatory
gas') not M-Devices, which he never mentioned.
