from a canadian soldiers point of view

Answer 1

st julien was a place that was attacked in the second battle of Ypres . That part of the front was held by a very mix contingent of troops ( french, colonial french , Canadian and Belgium soldiers )
The 22 April there was the gas attack ( with chloorgas ) and the french troops had to bear the full load of it . Luckily the attack front was more on the narrow side and the Canadian and specially the Belgium troops could reorganizes there front line and give from support trenches a flanking fire onto the German troops
On the 24 April the German did a new attack now on the Canadian troops and they had to give way to the attackers .

From then on st julien became German occupied until the 3 battle of Ypres when is was retaken from the Germans

Answer 2

St. Julien was not the battle where poison gas was first used in warfare. It was the Battle of Ypres where the German's launched a chlorine gas against Canadian soldiers, and Canadian troops held their positions for several days, while other troops fled.
