Hannah Pointer:During the war my great-grandmother worked at a factory that made bombs. They prayed that the bombs they made would not hurt anyone.
Women had to work at factories, because all of the men were gone to war. My great-grandmother was one of these women, she worked for GM Canada making different kinds of weapons during the war.

Erika Martin had the following things to say about her military treasure:My treasure is a 105mm Leopard C2 armoured tank shell. This shell was made in 2001 and was used for training purposes in 2003. The shell belongs to Corporal Allan Martin. The shell is also known as a H.E.S.H. - High Explosive Squashed Head. It was used to eliminate the enemy tanks and enemy occupied buildings. The owner is my Uncle and he is the only surviving member of my family that served in the army. My treasure is important because my Uncle served 10 years in the army and it was important to him that he served his country.

Wasuweg Gregoire brought a piece of the Berlin Wall in as her military treasure and wrote the following:My treasure is a small piece of the Berlin Wall. The Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic to separate West Berlin from East Berlin. It was built on August 13th 1961 and fell in 1990. This piece belongs to Remi Boudreau. The wall included guard towers placed along large concrete walls. The wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany. This treasure is important because it belongs to my stepmom's dad who was in Germany for four years with the Canadian Armed Forces.
