COVE

In this picture this a soldier with burns and blisters on his arms from the deadly mustard gas. It left most of their skin with blisters and horrible internal problems. One thing about this gas was that it stayed active for weeks and sometimes months. Wilfred Owen describes this in his poem as if we can visualize this sad, traumatic event. He stated " But someone still was yelling out stumbling and flounding like a man in fire or lime!" To me that line describes the man in the picture and make you think that he could have been in that situation suffering from the gas.
