| Keywords: vehicle aircraft Lot-9432-23: Sulfur, Scare In World War I, Is Plentiful Today. Although not generally know, sulfur is one of warfare’s vital elements. Indispensable in the manufacture of explosives, it is also a component of sulfuric acid, which is one of the important wartime chemicals. Unlike the condition prevailing in World War I, when a shortage of sulfur, due largely to the lack of improved mining facilities, was a threat to the Allied war effort, the element is plentiful today. One of the world’s richest single sources of Sulfur is the stratum in Louisiana and Texas, on the Gulf Coast of the United States. Shown: The loosened sulfur is scooped up in big power shovels and deposited in bins, where it is broken up even more. Office of War Information Photograph, 9-15 April 1942.
