A substantial new primary source has been added to The Sutlers Supreme NAAFI Historical Downloads.

War Diary No. 1 HQ RASC/EFI 1952 — Part One: January–March 1952 is now available to read online.

Held by The National Archives under reference WO 281/882, the diary records the day-to-day work of No. 1 HQ RASC/EFI (Royal Army Service Corps/Expeditionary Force Institutes) during the Korean War and provides a contemporary account of the organisation supporting NAAFI operations in Japan and Korea.

Among its pages are records of EFI personnel movements, postings to NAAFI establishments in Korea, supplies and shipping, strength returns, mobile canteens and other equipment moving between Japan and Korea.

This is the first of four parts in which the complete 1952 war diary will be made available through The Sutlers Supreme.

Part One covers January to March 1952 and contains 44 pages. The diary can either be explored page by page in our book-style reader or opened as a PDF.

The shelves are beginning to fill…

One of the aims of The Sutlers Supreme has always been to make original material relating to the history of NAAFI as accessible as possible.

Over time, a small collection of original NAAFI publications and historical documents has begun to accumulate on the website. Until now, these have largely been presented as downloadable PDF files.

That has now changed.

The NAAFI Historical Downloads section has been redesigned and, for a selection of publications, a new book-style reader has been introduced. Instead of having to download a document before seeing what it contains, readers can now open a publication online and turn through its pages much as they might the original booklet.

The collection currently includes publications ranging from the closing months of the Second World War through to the 1980s, with further material waiting to be added.

For researchers — and anyone who simply prefers working with the original document — the conventional PDF versions haven't disappeared. They remain available alongside the new reader.

This is very much a developing part of The Sutlers Supreme. As more suitable material becomes available, the intention is gradually to build the collection into a useful online resource for anyone interested in the history of NAAFI, Expeditionary Force Institutes (EFI), and the Naval Canteen Service (NCS).

More publications and historical documents will be added to the collection as they become available.

La Dolce Vita in Venice

In May 1945, as the war in Italy came to an end, NAAFI and EFI established what must have been one of the most extraordinary forces clubs of the entire campaign.

On Venice’s fashionable Lido, a former casino became the Churchill-Roosevelt Club — a remarkable Anglo-American leave centre for British other ranks and American enlisted personnel.

Behind its imposing façade were marble halls, lounges, dining rooms and recreational facilities. Behind the club itself was another story: NAAFI/EFI, the WVS, the American Red Cross and a large Italian workforce, all helping to provide welfare and recreation for servicemen far from home.

Using contemporary records, personal recollections and a surviving set of original souvenir photographs, the latest The Sutlers Supreme article explores the story of the club — and some of the people who made it work.

As always, if this brings back a family story, photograph or memory connected with the Churchill-Roosevelt Club, NAAFI/EFI in Italy, the WVS or the American Red Cross, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

The Ladies in Green — A New Interactive Map

In May 1947, the W.V.S. Bulletin published a remarkable and very informative account of the WVS women who had worked alongside NAAFI and EFI with the Central Mediterranean Force (CMF).

Beginning with the arrival of eight WVS workers in Algiers in March 1944, their story spread across North Africa, Italy, Greece and Austria. Importantly for the historian, the account preserved the names of NAAFI clubs and welfare establishments, the places in which they operated and many of the WVS women who worked within them.

I have been using that contemporary account, together with further archival research, to put those places and people back on the map.

The Ladies in Green: WVS and NAAFI across the Central Mediterranean, 1944–1947 is now available to explore on The Sutlers Supreme.

Select any numbered marker to discover the club or welfare establishment at that location, together with known WVS personnel, dates, Registered Numbers and other details where these have been identified. The map will continue to develop as further evidence, photographs and personal stories come to light.

Can you help? Do you recognise a club, location or name on the map? If you have photographs, postcards, documents or family memories connected with NAAFI, EFI or the WVS in the Central Mediterranean, I would be very pleased to hear from you.

New Article: More than Just a Canteen – Part Two

The war had ended. The need for a welcome had not.

Part Two of More than Just a Canteen: How NAAFI and the Women's Voluntary Service Helped Sustain Morale During and After the Second World War has now been published on The Sutlers Supreme.

Part Two follows the NAAFI–W.V.S. partnership into post-war Germany, beginning in the ruins of Hamburg in 1945 and tracing the development of clubs and welfare services across the British Zone.

Along the way we meet some of the first W.V.S. women to serve in occupied Germany, discover the everyday work carried out in NAAFI clubs, visit Summit House in Berlin and see how the partnership adapted once again during the Berlin Airlift.

It is a story of canteens, clubs, information bureaux and welfare services, but above all, of the people who helped make life a little more welcoming for British servicemen and women far from home.

Introducing NAAFI Voices

Today marks the launch of NAAFI Voices, a new section of The Sutlers Supreme dedicated to preserving the personal memories of those who served with NAAFI and the families who remember them.

The first contribution comes from Michael Shaw, who has kindly shared the story of his mother, Mary Shaw (née West), who served with NAAFI in the Portsmouth area during the Second World War. Alongside her memories are two touching poems written in tribute to the NAAFI girls who supported Britain's servicemen during the war.

Every photograph, memory and family story helps preserve another small piece of NAAFI history that might otherwise be lost. It is my hope that NAAFI Voices will grow into a lasting archive of personal recollections, celebrating not only the organisation itself but also the people whose kindness, dedication and humour made such a difference to generations of servicemen and women.

📖 NEW ON THE SUTLERS SUPREME

More than just a canteen

For most people, the story of NAAFI is one of shops, canteens and clubs serving British forces around the world.

Less well known is the remarkable partnership that helped transform those establishments into places where servicemen could relax, socialise and briefly escape the pressures of war.

During the Second World War, more than 1,000 Women's Voluntary Service (WVS) volunteers served alongside NAAFI in clubs, leave centres and mobile canteens stretching from North Africa to Italy, North-West Europe and, later, the Far East. Affectionately remembered by many servicemen as The Women in Green, they brought warmth, hospitality and a welcome sense of normality wherever British troops were stationed.

This new feature tells the story of that partnership through contemporary photographs, newspapers, personal stories and original archival material. Along the way it introduces some of the remarkable people behind the organisation, including Sir Lancelot Royle, Lady Reading, Veronica Eastwood and Daisy Nicholls M.B.E., whose courage under fire in Athens earned national recognition.

Rather than simply serving tea, the WVS helped create the atmosphere that made NAAFI clubs places to remember.

I hope you enjoy reading it.

📖 NEW ON THE SUTLERS SUPREME

On 22 June 1943, Private Leonard Green of RASC/EFI and Battery Sergeant Major Angus Paton arrived in Stockholm after escaping from German captivity.

Their journey to freedom had begun eleven days earlier with an escape from Camp 35/2 at Graudenz. Travelling across occupied Poland with forged papers, aided by Polish civilians and Swedish seamen, the two men eventually reached neutral Sweden and safety.

Today, on the 83rd anniversary of their arrival in Stockholm, I've published the second part of Leonard Green's remarkable wartime story.

Drawing upon Leonard's MI9 escape report, wartime casualty lists, Medal Index Card, Distinguished Conduct Medal recommendation and contemporary records, the article reconstructs his journey from prisoner of war to free man.

🔗 Read the article here

Casualty List No. 1191 (July 1943) Having previously been reported as "Missing" following his escape from Camp 35/2 at Graudenz, Leonard Green was now listed as "Not Missing". The amendment reflected his successful arrival in neutral Sweden and provided official confirmation that he had escaped from German captivity.

Remembering 2nd Lieutenant J. R. W. Hobson, RASC/EFI

A brief Sutlers Supreme research spotlight on an early Expeditionary Force Institutes casualty of the 1940 campaign in France.

Shortly after publishing my articles on the Expeditionary Force Institutes in France during 1940, I was contacted by military historian Matt Eaton, whose research focuses on the welfare and entertainment services that supported British servicemen during the Second World War. Among the stories he kindly brought to my attention was that of 2nd Lieutenant John R. W. Hobson of the Royal Army Service Corps.

Hobson was one of the many officers and men serving with the Expeditionary Force Institutes (EFI), the organisation responsible for providing canteen and welfare services to the British Expeditionary Force. Like the troops they supported, EFI personnel found themselves caught up in the chaos of the German offensive that began on 10 May 1940.

This brief article does not attempt to tell Hobson's full story. Instead, it seeks to remember an EFI officer whose name appears in the wartime casualty lists and to highlight the excellent research carried out by Matt Eaton, whose work has brought greater attention to his service and sacrifice.

Casualty List No. 206 (Officers and Nurses), issued on 16 May 1940. The list records the death of 2nd Lieutenant J. R. W. Hobson, Royal Army Service Corps, who was reported killed in action in France on 14 May 1940.

Source: War Office Casualty List No. 206, 16 May 1940.

A Name in the Casualty Lists

The entry for Hobson is brief, as casualty list entries usually are. It gives his regiment, rank, initials, service number and the date of casualty. There is no explanation, no narrative and no detail beyond the stark official wording: killed in action.

Yet for the history of the Expeditionary Force Institutes, that single line is important. It reminds us that EFI personnel in France were not remote from the fighting. They were serving within the same theatre of war as the troops they supported, and when the German offensive began in May 1940, they too were caught up in the danger, confusion and loss that followed.

For many readers, NAAFI and EFI history naturally brings to mind canteens, clubs, mobile vans, cups of tea and the everyday comforts provided to servicemen far from home. Hobson's name in this casualty list reminds us that behind those familiar welfare services were individuals whose own service could place them directly in harm's way.

EFI Personnel in France, 1940

By the spring of 1940, Expeditionary Force Institutes personnel were serving throughout the British Expeditionary Force's area of operations in France. Their role was not a combat one, but it was nevertheless essential. Through canteens, stores, welfare facilities and support for organisations such as ENSA, EFI staff helped provide many of the everyday comforts and entertainments that connected British servicemen with a sense of normality amid the uncertainties of military life.

When the German offensive began on 10 May 1940, the rapid collapse of the Allied position transformed the circumstances in which these welfare services operated. Roads became crowded with military traffic and refugees, communications broke down and units found themselves moving, withdrawing or becoming separated at short notice. EFI personnel shared these conditions alongside the formations they served.

The story of the Expeditionary Force Institutes in France is often overshadowed by the larger military events of the campaign. Yet the surviving records reveal that EFI officers and men experienced the same upheaval, uncertainty and danger that affected the wider British Expeditionary Force. The appearance of 2nd Lieutenant Hobson's name in the casualty lists provides a poignant reminder of that reality.

Further Reading

While preparing this article, I was fortunate to make contact with military historian Matt Eaton, whose doctoral research explores the welfare and entertainment services that supported British servicemen during the Second World War. His work examines organisations such as ENSA, military entertainers including concert parties and dance bands, and how entertainment was prioritised and delivered to troops within the broader context of welfare.

Matt has researched the story of 2nd Lieutenant John R. W. Hobson in far greater detail than could be covered here. Readers wishing to learn more about Hobson's service and the circumstances surrounding his death are encouraged to read Matt's excellent article:

Read Matt Eaton's Article on John R. W. Hobson

As researchers, we often build upon the discoveries of others. I am grateful to Matt for bringing Hobson's story to my attention and for sharing material relating to the Expeditionary Force Institutes in France during 1940. It is through such collaboration that the stories of individuals like John Hobson continue to be remembered.

An EFI Soldier's Escape: Pte Leonard Green and the Road to Sweden — Part One

While researching the experiences of Expeditionary Force Institutes personnel during the collapse of France in 1940, I came across the remarkable story of Private Leonard Green, an RASC/EFI serviceman whose wartime journey would eventually carry him from civilian life in London to captivity in occupied Poland.

Drawing upon wartime prisoner-of-war reports, archival records and Leonard's own recollections recorded nearly thirty years later in Escape Route Green, this first part follows his story from enlistment and service with EFI in France through the chaotic retreat towards Boulogne, capture by German forces and arrival at Stalag XXA at Thorn.

Among Leonard's memories was one small but deeply revealing moment:

“It gives your religion. And mine was down as Jewish. That's when I really thought we mightn't have long to go.”

Coming Soon: An EFI Soldier's Escape

Research often takes us in unexpected directions. While investigating the experiences of Expeditionary Force Institutes personnel during the collapse of France in 1940, I came across the remarkable story of Private Leonard Green, an RASC/EFI serviceman whose wartime experiences extended far beyond the events described in my recent series on NAAFI and EFI in France.

Captured during the retreat towards Boulogne in May 1940, Leonard would spend years as a prisoner of war in occupied Europe before eventually embarking upon an extraordinary escape journey towards neutral Sweden.

Drawing upon wartime POW reports, archival material and Leonard's own remarkable recollections recorded nearly thirty years later, a new two-part Sutlers Supreme feature will shortly explore the extraordinary wartime experiences of an ordinary Londoner whose journey would eventually carry him from civilian life in London to Stalag XXA in occupied Poland — and ultimately towards escape.

"Mine was down as Jewish."

The Most Northerly Forces Canteen in the World?

NAAFI in Northern Norway, 1945

One of the pleasures of researching NAAFI history is discovering small stories which unexpectedly reveal just how far the organisation’s reach once extended.

A recent addition to the Sutlers Supreme archive explores the little-known presence of NAAFI and EFI personnel in Northern Norway during the closing stages of the Second World War. Although EFI staff had briefly operated in Norway during the ill-fated 1940 campaign, British forces returned to the region in May 1945 following the German surrender.

Contemporary newspapers described the NAAFI establishment at Tromsø as “the most Northerly Forces Canteen in the world” — a claim which, whether entirely accurate or not, perfectly captures the extraordinary geographical spread of wartime welfare operations.

Northern Norway during the Second World War period, showing Tromsø and other important northern settlements connected with wartime operations.

The accompanying map was created as part of ongoing work connected with the Sutlers Supreme NAAFI around the world project, which aims to document the global footprint of NAAFI, EFI/ATS and NCS service from 1921 onwards.

Even today, Tromsø remains associated with isolation, Arctic weather and extreme geography. The idea that NAAFI personnel were operating canteens and welfare facilities so far north during the immediate post-war period offers a remarkable reminder of the organisation’s adaptability and worldwide presence.

NAAFI around the world — an interactive map

A new feature has been added to the Sutlers Supreme.

“NAAFI around the world” is an interactive map inspired by a striking illustration from NAAFI Reports: 50 Years of Service, which sought to capture the global reach of NAAFI activity between 1921 and 1970.

The original image presents this story in a single view. The map now offers a modern interpretation, allowing the viewer to explore that reach geographically — from Europe and the Mediterranean to Africa, the Middle East and beyond.

At present, the map identifies countries and territories where a NAAFI presence has been recorded. Over time, this will be expanded with detailed location entries, drawing together material from across the Sutlers Supreme archive, including photographs, postcards and contemporary accounts.

This is very much an ongoing project, but one that I hope will develop into a useful visual reference for the study of NAAFI, EFI and NCS service.

Tea Above the Clouds: The NAAFI Canteen on the Gerlitzen Alpe

A NAAFI canteen perched high above the clouds in the Austrian Alps might sound improbable. Yet for several winters during the British occupation of Carinthia, that is precisely what existed on the slopes of the Gerlitzen Alpe above Villach. Here, at the Pöllingerhütte some 5,000 feet above sea level, British servicemen learning to ski could warm themselves with tea and a plate of ham, egg and chips, served by NAAFI staff who had followed the troops into one of the most unusual catering outposts the organisation ever operated.

During the early years of the British occupation, the mountains of Carinthia quickly became more than just a dramatic backdrop to garrison life. British servicemen and civilians posted to the region quickly embraced Alpine skiing, organising competitions and winter training from the first occupation winter of 1945–46. The slopes around Villach and the Gerlitzen soon echoed with the activity of regimental ski teams, improvised races, and soldiers learning a sport many had never encountered before arriving in Austria.

A Parcel from Netheravon

A small NAAFI footnote to the Gauli Glacier rescue (1946)

Caption: “NAAFI to the Rescue” — a small notice in NAAFI News recording that the NAAFI store at RAF Netheravon was instructed (via the Air Ministry) to assemble emergency parcels, later flown out and dropped by parachute to survivors of the Gauli Glacier crash (1946).

In November 1946, a United States Army Air Forces C-53 Skytrooper made a forced landing on the Gauli Glacier high in the Swiss Alps. The dramatic rescue that followed captured international attention and has since been remembered as one of the earliest large-scale aerial alpine rescue operations. Newspapers across Europe and North America reported the search, the discovery of the aircraft, and the eventual evacuation of the survivors, all of whom were brought safely home.

As is often the case with widely reported events, contemporary accounts differ in their details. Various reports attributed the sighting of the aircraft and aspects of the rescue to different air forces, and a number of proposals and ideas were discussed at the time, not all of which were carried out. Yet the essential facts remain clear: the aircraft came down on a glacier, the passengers survived the crash, and an international effort helped sustain them until rescue could be completed.

Tucked away in a later issue of NAAFI News is a small and easily overlooked reference that adds an unexpected dimension to the story. According to this notice, the NAAFI store and shop at RAF Netheravon received instructions, through the Air Ministry, to assemble parcels of foodstuffs and matches. These supplies were then flown out by Lancaster aircraft and dropped by parachute to the stranded passengers.

The report is brief, and it does not attempt to describe the wider rescue in detail. Nevertheless, it offers a revealing glimpse into the way NAAFI’s organisation and supply networks could be used in unforeseen circumstances. NAAFI is most often associated with institutes, clubs, and canteens serving servicemen and women in barracks, camps, and garrisons. Yet this small episode reminds us that its role could extend much further, providing practical assistance wherever British forces were operating or able to help.

It is also a reminder of the many quiet contributions that rarely found their way into headlines. Rescue stories naturally celebrate the pilots, crews, and medical teams whose work was dramatic and visible. Less often mentioned are the people who prepared the parcels, packed the tins, and organised the stores that made such operations possible. Their work was no less necessary, even if it passed largely unnoticed at the time.

The Gauli Glacier rescue remains a remarkable story of survival and cooperation in difficult conditions. Among the many elements that made it possible was this small, practical effort carried out hundreds of miles away in Wiltshire. One likes to think that, alongside the essential food and equipment, there may even have been tea among the supplies — something that generations of servicemen would have agreed was almost as important as anything else when facing cold and uncertainty.

Sometimes history is found not only in the great events themselves, but in the small footnotes that reveal how many different hands helped to bring a good ending about.

Editorial note: Contemporary reports of the Gauli Glacier rescue vary in detail, and information on the small part played by NAAFI appears to be scarce. If any readers have further information, documents, or family recollections relating to NAAFI’s involvement in supplying the survivors, I would be very pleased to hear from you.

New Article — From Mobilisation to Evacuation (Part One)

The next chapter of The Sutlers Supreme is now live.

Part One of a new three-part series explores how NAAFI prepared for war in 1939 — the hurried mobilisation of staff, the formation of the Field Force Institutes, and the first volunteers who exchanged civilian dress for uniform before crossing to France with the British Expeditionary Force.

Drawing on contemporary newspapers, official histories, and items from my own collection, it traces the story of those early months when a peacetime canteen service quietly became part of the Army’s wartime machine.

A Note from The Sutlers Supreme

Since the last post went live in December, work here at The Sutlers Supreme has very much continued — just mostly behind the scenes.

Research and preparation are currently underway on several strands of the project, including further material on NAAFI and EFI service in post-war Austria, along with ongoing archival work connected to earlier themes explored on the site. As ever, this involves tracking down original sources, revisiting press cuttings, and refining maps and images so that future pieces can be published with the care and context they deserve.

At the same time, The Sutlers Supreme is always keen to hear from anyone who may hold material that could help inform future pages — whether photographs, documents, press cuttings, ephemera, or personal recollections connected to NAAFI, EFI, or associated welfare services. Even small fragments can help illuminate a much wider story.

Rather than rush material out, the aim remains the same as when this project began: to document these often-overlooked stories properly, and to present them clearly and thoughtfully.

If you would like to get in touch or share material, please use the Contact email.

New posts will follow in due course. In the meantime, thank you — sincerely — to everyone who continues to read, share, and take an interest in the work here.

More soon.
