Widow seeks proof gas tests did not cause veteran’s lung disease
Agnes Johnson, widow of Bernt Johnson, urges the Defence Department to admit that wartime mustard gas experiments at Suffield, Alberta, did not cause his emphysema. He died last November at 65 after years of breathing problems linked to four July and August 1943 tests. The Pension Commission upheld a ruling finding insufficient medical evidence to connect his illness to the tests. Agnes Johnson vows to pursue an entitlement board review to obtain compensation and accountability.
