In the story �All Quiet on the Western Front,� the author does an accurate job describing the war in respect to the training camps and the mustard gas.
The training camps in World War I were in very harsh conditions. The value of life was not much and the soldiers would always lack food. Also the soldiers would usually not have enough huts. In �All Quiet in the Western Front,� the author does a good job describing the training camps. In the story the soldiers always are hungry. Also they did not have much value of life because they would rather get a person dying out of the hospital as soon as possible for more wounded soldiers.
Mustard gas was a liquid poison with a somewhat sweet, agreeable odor used in WWI. It caused a burning sensation with contact on the skins. This poison causes severe blistering even in small quantities. If the poison was inhaled the soldiers would painfully cough up their lungs in a long or short period of time depending on how much was inhaled. In the story �All Quiet on the Western Front,� the author does an accurate job describing the effects of mustard gas. The author writes, �the gas patients who in day-long suffocation cough up their burnt lungs in clots.
