In the back of the truck are those 4-gallon “flimsies”? I have never seen the undersides or the tops before & wasn’t aware they were used for water as well as fuel. But never really thought what was used prior to the jerrican. Or are the tins of something else?

Clive,

Those square tins look like they have large round lids, are they possibly for some powder or chemical to purify the water? I cannot find my WO pamphlet on the subject to check.
