As if both sides weren't big fans of mustard gas, other poison gasses, flamethrowers and arson.

Yes, but it was undoubtedly the german side that used gases and flamethrowers first and thereby made counterattacks with those weapons a legitimate tactic for the other site.

I'm not a fan of vilification of Germans in first world war, because all major sides wanted the war and were, as you said, not exactly gentlemen. But those weapons were first used by the Germans.
