EDITORS COMMENTS
this evocative photograph transports us back in time to the World War Two canteen at Colchester Garrison. The image captures the bustling atmosphere of the canteen, where weary soldiers gather to enjoy a well-deserved break from the rigors of military life. The long tables are laden with steaming hot meals, and the soldiers sit hungrily, engaged in animated conversation with their comrades. In the background, we can see the canteen staff busily serving food and drinks, their faces a mix of determination and kindness. The walls are adorned with posters and signs, reminding the soldiers of the importance of maintaining morale and staying focused on the war effort. The scene is one of camaraderie and community, a moment of respite amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. The photograph is part of a larger collection of 3229 images relating to the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (NaFI) and its predecessors, spanning the years 1914-1997. NaFI was an organization that provided welfare and recreational services to the British Armed Forces and their families. During World War Two, NaFI canteens played a crucial role in providing soldiers with hot meals, refreshments, and a place to relax and socialize. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the war, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships they endured. The photograph is undated, but the uniforms and equipment of the soldiers suggest that it was taken sometime during the war years. Despite the passage of time, the image remains a powerful testament to the resilience and spirit of the men and women who served in the military during World War Two.
