reesetee commented on the word hose-laying lorry
From verso of card: "During an air raid, alternative supplies of water may be required should water mains be damaged by exploding bombs. For laying long lines of delivery hose . . . a special motor appliance is used. The lengths of hose in the appliance are joined together and specially packed . . . so that they pay out in one or more continuous lines as the appliance is driven ahead."
