Service to the Services: The Story of NAAFI by Harry Miller

A fascinating history of the organisation that provided practical support, familiar comforts and a sense of everyday normality to generations of servicemen and women.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in military history and the less obvious stories behind major events. He appreciated books that looked beyond battles and commanders to the organisations and people quietly supporting everyday life in the background. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by Harry Miller, Service to the Services: The Story of NAAFI explores the history of an organisation that became a familiar part of life for generations serving in the British Armed Forces.

From refreshments and essential supplies to recreation and welfare, NAAFI helped provide routine, familiarity and practical support for personnel stationed away from home. The book looks at how those services developed and why they became such an important part of military life.

An absorbing piece of military social history for readers interested in service life, welfare and the essential work carried out behind the front line.

Dark age-related discolouration is visible along the inner gutter area, and the binding feels slightly loose, although the book remains intact and fully readable. Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.

Arya's Approval

Military history is not only about battles. This gives proper attention to the routines, comforts and support systems that helped make service life more bearable, preserving the story of work that was rarely dramatic but mattered enormously.
