Apparently several wagons were needed to move this equipment. However, in order to capture the sounds.....the "horns" had to be placed very close to the action.epigramophone wrote:Some say that this recording cost Will Gaisberg his life.gramophone78 wrote:Actually, the one record that should be mentioned and is the only true recording of WW1 is this......
He was severely gassed whilst making the recording, and when he returned to London he succumbed to the 1918 influenza pandemic. Less than a month later he died. If he had not been weakened by the gas attack he might have survived.
The irony in all this....was Will gassed by "friendly" fire....??.
gass or flue???
well the gass make your lungs secreed alot of liquit if you got too much of it you would quite literally drown!
the thing is spanish flue afected the lungs the one of the many symtoms was watery secretions in the lungs again you would drown
my opinion is that will was gassed
Regardless, without this recording....WW1 would have never been captured for posterity.

Re: World War 1 - Centennial
Pretty sure that the "GAS Shell Attack" recording was staged... It sounds kind of obvious when you listen to the recording... It even sounds "Staged"... Believe that this has been covered before... and I think that they told a big "fib" as to its authenticity just to sell some records....IMHO...
I , more than anyone want it to be genuine instead of "staged"....but just listen to the recording and make your own judgements about it...
