The Sutlers Supreme Dispatch

Issue No. 2 – Autumn 2026 Now Available

The second issue of The Sutlers Supreme Dispatch has now been published.

The Autumn 2026 edition brings together some of the latest research and discoveries from The Sutlers Supreme, exploring the history of NAAFI, EFI and the people who served with them around the world.

Contents include:

  • From the Editor's Desk
  • Dispatch Bag: The Pauline Hamilton Album – Following the clues of an ATS/EFI driver in Italy
  • From the NAAFI World Map: The Azores
  • New Discoveries in Italy: The Clubs
  • Featured Article: Mobile Canteens in Korea
  • Looking Ahead

From a remarkable family photograph album and the little-known story of EFI in the Azores, to the extraordinary Alexander Club in Rome, this issue follows some of the small clues which can open much larger stories.

The featured article turns to Korea, where a letter written by Private A. R. Myers leads back to the RASC/EFI men who drove NAAFI mobile canteens over the country's “dust, rain, cold and shocking roads” – including the dangerous journey towards Hill 355.

Across 24 pages, Issue No. 2 brings together photographs, contemporary newspapers, military maps, war diaries, service records and other archive material to continue uncovering this often-overlooked part of NAAFI and EFI history.
