The Sutlers Supreme


🪙 “10 Groschen of NAAFI History… Part Two” — On its way!

Coming Soon: 10 Groschen Worth of NAAFI History… Part Two

The story continues. Part Two of “10 Groschen Worth…” picks up the thread we left in 1945 and follows the quiet but rapid expansion of NAAFI’s presence across the British Zone in Austria.

From mobile canteens driving through the countryside to reach remote outposts, to Bulk Issue Stores in towns and canteens offering a touch of home, this chapter explores how comfort, routine, and morale were delivered — one cup of tea at a time.

We trace the growth of provisioning networks, the rise of clubs and entertainment centres, and the emotional geography of postwar service life in Austria.

With press clippings, sepia-framed visuals, and an interactive map of NAAFI locations, Part Two offers a deeper look at the everyday rhythms of British troops in Austria.

Publication is just around the corner. Thank you for walking this path with us.
