Here's an interesting WW II pic Clive. It's unfortunate that it isn't higher resolution as there is a lot going on. There are at least two water purifiers pumping into temporary canvas tanks, several vehicles and an interesting mix of tentage. I don't know where or when this picture was taken.
This picture is very reminiscent of my time as a Canadian Military Engineer. Although I was an Electrical Distribution Technician we were all cross-trained in the use of other trade's kit. The "Wiffy" Techs (Water, Fuel, and Environment) used the R.O.W.P.U. ( Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit). Smaller units, such as 192 AEF (my old unit) were issued 'mini" ROWPU's that were designed to easily handle our unit's water needs. Change the vehicles and tents to more modern kit and this picture would look very familiar to any C.M.E. today.
