“Bombs burst from above like rolling cracks of thunder as shrapnel rained down from the sky, expended from death black clouds.”

“Before 1914 artillery shells had consisted mainly of shrapnel, whose airbursts were effective in mobile warfare.”

“Modern categories of artillery fire solid shot, shrapnel, or explosive shells.”

“Hardly did I walk two or three steps than four or five shrapnels burst near me.”

“A couple of shrapnels were sent after them to keep them on the run.”
