In 1915, in the year that Opal Ashley was born, the Germans first used poison gas as a weapon at the second Battle of Ypres during World War I.

Subsequently, the French and British - as well as the United States when they entered World War 1 - developed and used lethal gas in war.
Did you know?
In 1920, Opal was only 5 years old when speakeasies replaced saloons as the center of social activity. After the 18th Amendment was ratified and selling alcohol became illegal, saloons closed and speakeasies took their place. Speakeasies, also called a blind pig or blind tiger, were "so called because of the practice of speaking quietly about such a place in public, or when inside it, so as not to alert the police or neighbors". There were a lot of them and they were very popular. And where saloons often prohibited women, they were encouraged at speakeasies because of the added profits.
