Many uniformed men were running in panic from a green-grey cloud. Who were the men and why were they running away from a cloud?
HintThey were wearing Military uniforms.
The cloud was not your ordinary harmless rain-cloud.
AnswerThey were French soldiers running away from a cloud of dangerous Chlorine gas that the German soldiers had used on the allies as an experiment in April 1915, during WWI in Ypres, Belgium.
Chlorine gas would attack the lungs and cause them to fill with fluid: the poor soldiers would drown or be asphyxiated. After that incident, the soldiers could tell when chlorine gas was around, because the cloud was a kind of grey-green colour.
