at Hongay (French Indo-China)
Although the Shanghai Waterworks Company did everything in their power to keep as many mains alive as possible, there were a few cases in which it became necessary to shut down sections, particularly in areas which had been burnt-out or demolished by shell fire. The company, however, were good enough to keep the Brigade informed of all such cases, and to notify when they were again opened up; with this information available, dry sections were marked on maps which were carried on all machines, with the result that various Divisions of the Brigade were at all times conversant with conditions as regards water supply in their respective areas.
