Fragments of a shell or bomb (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shrapnel

'fragments of a shell or bomb' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for shrapnel that I've seen before include "Bits of an exploded shell" , "bursting shells" , "Projectile fragments" , "Dangerous fragments" , "Scattered pieces from a bursting shell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
