Jeep siren. How is it switched on.

Just purchased a genuine wing mount siren for the jeep. It works a treat when wired directly up to a battery, much to the amusement of the boys out the back! Question is, how would it originally have been wired up? What switch etc would it need to be installed properly?

Not too sure about jeeps Rick but the Ward la France siren is operated by foot switch.

But Nick, there are some pics of a couple of jeeps in the book " British jeeps in wartime service".
