Original WW1 postcard showing a pontoon bridging / assault boat section, most probably Royal Engineers

Postally unused and of French manufacture, a great image of an old military lorry with two trailers attached with assault boats or pontoon boats. There is a tall chimney in the background, this is not attached to the boat! Slight crease in white card to the left of the lorry, but this is not actually on the image itself, otherwise excellent condition and scarce.
