In addition, the forthcoming Jan/Feb issue of JCHAS has a story in it about how several famous major league baseball players were recruited into the US Army's Chemical Warfare Service, notably Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson, for their leadership skills (not their chemistry understanding). They were both exposed to live gasses in training and Christy died a few years later from the effects of this exposure. It sounds like a similar philosophy was followed with the soldiers.
