"Shell casing were here and sent to Ajax to be filled [at Defense Industries Limited.]" - Oshawa Senior Citizens Centre
"I worked on the shells with a reamer and also with a light to look in the shell to see if there were any deep scratches or grooves. My boss was Mrs. Moss." - Clara Lucier
"I worked at Pedlar People during the war. We inspected 40mm shell casings with long wand with a light on the end of it. We were to look for flaws in the metal. It was explained to us that a flaw could make the shell explode in the gun and possibly kill the soldier. We were to be very careful and reject any shell casings that were not perfectly made." - Jeannette Mark Nugent
"When I was overseas I saw these empty brass shells and wanted them to make a tobacco case. When I got the shell home, my wife saw it and [said] she had inspected the same shell before it went overseas. Her cancellation mark was on the shell!" - Earl Hann
"I worked at Pedlars reaming shells. This involved taking an instrument and cleaning out the burrs from the brass shells. The brass would get on the instep of my feet and itched terribly at the time and for several years later. The shells were 35 mm and about 6 inches long. The men were separated from the women. My sister also worked here and my sister-in-law worked in the government part." -Yvonne Cory
