[casi] Churchill, gas and the Kurds




[ Presenting plain-text part of multi-format email ]

 It's often said that Churchill contemplated (and supported) using gas against 'uncivilised 
peoples' such as Kurdish and Afghan tribesmen during the 1920's.  Is there any hard historical 
evidence or reliable source for this?  Did the RAF actually use chemical weapons after WW1? 
Apologies if this has already been discussed.  I couldn't find anything in the archives. Well done 
all for an excellent discussion site and hoping for a peaceful resolution. Daithi O hArgain
