Returning from school after the previous nights incendiary bomb raid, my friend 9Kevin) and I found an unexploded incendiary bomb. So we decided to take it back to his fathers' shed and proceeded to unscrew the percussion cap and empty out the magnesium contents! So added it to our other souvenirs, pieces of shrapnel etc.
