The compasses helped them get to where they wanted to go. Many times soldiers would get lost without a compass, so it was hard to tell where one was going. Soldiers saw this compass as a very useful item to carry in a pouch. They also took a lot of care of this item. If the Army Corps wouldn't have this compass, they wouldn't know where they would be headed. Items like this compass have been passed down to many generations of children as a gift and collectible.
