Transcription
And we used to get out of those shells a certain amount of cordite, like spaghetti, gets left over, doesn’t go off; it’s emptied out of the shell. You got to be careful of that because it is highly explosive. We used to take it when we had blackouts, plywood blackout things, so we used to take our blackouts when we had our time off and we used to make all kinds of pictures with the cordite, line it all up then light a match that would burn it into the blackouts see so everybody had blackouts with pictures on them from the cordite until we got told we could set fire to the place, “Stop doing it.”
