EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of World War I, the threat of poison gas attacks loomed large over the minds of civilians and soldiers alike. In the early years of the conflict, German forces began utilizing Zeppelins as a means of delivering these deadly fumes, dropping bombs filled with poisonous agents over Allied cities. In response to this terrifying new threat, companies like Cooper & Son of King Street, Gravesend, rushed to provide solutions for those seeking protection. This evocative advertisement for Freer Repirators, circa 1915, showcases the urgency and fear that gripped the populace during this time. The caption reads, "Protect Yourself and Your Family Against the Danger of Poisonous Fumes from Zeppelin Raids." The image of a family huddled together, each wearing a Freer Respirator mask, underscores the importance of unity and preparedness in the face of danger. The Freer Repirators, produced by Cooper & Son, were designed to offer a vital line of defense against the poisonous gases that could be released during an air raid. These masks, which featured a replaceable filter system, were a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the time. As the war raged on, the need for such protective measures only grew more pressing, making the availability of products like the Freer Repirator a beacon of hope and reassurance for those living in the shadow of the Zeppelin threat.
