A vintage gas mask, identified as a Belgian 1940 Model 1924 Gaz mask, is displayed against a white, layered background
MomentA vintage gas mask, identified as a Belgian 1940 Model 1924 Gaz mask, is displayed against a white, layered background. The mask is made of brown leather and has two circular glass eyepieces. A corrugated hose extends from the front of the mask, disappearing into a tan fabric bag at the bottom of the frame. A small label next to the mask provides its description in French and English, stating "Belgique 1940 Masque à gaz modèle 1924 Mémorial du Souvenir - Inventaire" and "Belgium 1940 Model 1924 Gaz mask". The gas mask is likely located in a museum in Dunkirk, France, as indicated by the reference to the "Mémorial du Souvenir" (Memorial of Remembrance), which is a museum in Dunkirk dedicated to the history of the Second World War and the Battle of Dunkirk.
