'something to blow' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'call service' is the wordplay.

'service' becomes 'RN' (abbreviation for Royal Navy).
'ho'+'rn'='HORN'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for horn that I've seen before include "Bony outgrowth on an animal" , "Head appendage; warning instrument" , "Brass musical instrument" , "Instrument - rhino's feature" , "Wind instrument - cape" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
