Yes Redroger, my dad was gassed and had a dreadful cough all his life. Eventually he was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx.Was operated on successfully but some years lated developed lung cancer. He gave his WW1 history to the medical staff but I don`t think they gave much attention to what may have been the root cause as he also smoked . But the racking choking cough never left him, he died 57 years after being gassed . He was taken prisoner and so did not get any proper medical attention after the gas attack. He must have been quite mildly affected compared to many, but the long term effects were there. The fact that he already had a dreadful cough masked the early symptoms of lung cancer and it was quite advanced by the time it was diagnosed and  then it was too late.
Two minutes silence in our house tomorrow at eleven o`clock,when I`ll hear  in my mind the soft winds that blow over all the cemeteries in Belgium and France, and throughout the world  and think of individual soldiers and remember them all, and those who fight for us now and say,Thankyou. Viktoria.
