East Surrey's gassed on the Somme?

My Great-Greatgrandfather served with the 13th Battalion of the East Surrey regiment - from the middle of 1915 until he was invalided out.
My Grandmother remembers visiting him in Brighton whilst he was recuperating from '...being gassed on the Somme'.
I have a photo of him in hospital taken around this time.

I have done some research into this matter but am struggling to find evidence of any such gas attack or records of the East Surrey's casualties in Brighton.

I am fairly new to this so any pointers or advice will be greatfully received.

Can you help me please...

David.
