World War I Artillery Shell Put Out With The Trash

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. One-hundred years after the first world war, French farmers still sometimes encounter a buried artillery shell. That's understandable. What's less understandable is that someone in London, Ontario, found a World War I artillery shell put out with the trash and found by a neighbor.

It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
