John Ferry takes another look at the bullet that made him the first civilian casualty of World War Two. The date: October 16th 1939.
It was dug out of his leg after an air attack on warships sheltering under the Forth Bridge.
Mr Ferry, 64, was helping to build an army camp at Silverknowes at the time.
He said " A plane started spraying the whole area with machine gun bullets. I felt a blow on the back of my right leg as if someone had hit me with a hammer"
