Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Military Canteen At the beginning of the last century, and for some years after, the soldiers canteen was a wooden, drum-shaped affair, provided with a nozzle. (See cut p. 120.) To now return to that shape and adopt a hollow cylinder, modeled after a drum for packing figs in, would be an advance backwards. The history of mankind is the history of the development of weapons and equipment for war by improvements, in which one nation has overcome another and survived. Within a few months from now our military organization will have been readjusted. The arms and equipments to be necessitated by the increase in numbers of our permanent military establishment should be new and not of the nineteenth century pattern. By July, 1901, perhaps 60,000 canteens now carried by, or in the possession of, United States Volunteers and Regulars will have been turned in. Some of these canteens will be suspended by the returned volunteers beside the obsolete muzzle-loading firearms of the civil war period, and some may find their way into the museums for the collection and display of archaic military weapons and equipments. From being an inconsequential article of a soldier's personal equipment the canteen has become, in fact, one of the most important articles, because connected with hygienic considerations; in other words, because it carries water and because the majority of our troops are in localities where good water is of prime consideration to health. Those who live a comparatively fixed life can hardly weigh aright the importance of a good canteen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: In search of "the best America there ever was," bestselling author and award-winning journalist Bob Greene finds it in a small Nebraska town few people pass through today—a town where Greene discovers the echoes of the most touching love story imaginable: a love story between a country and its sons. During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains en route to their ultimate destinations in Europe and the Pacific. The tiny town, wanting to offer the servicemen warmth and support, transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen. Every day of the year, every day of the war, the Canteen—staffed and funded entirely by local volunteers—was open from five a.m. until the last troop train of the day pulled away after midnight. Astonishingly, this remote plains community of only 12,000 people provided welcoming words, friendship, and baskets of food and treats to more than six million GIs by the time the war ended. In this poignant and heartwarming eyewitness history, based on interviews with North Platte residents and the soldiers who once passed through, Bob Greene tells a classic, lost-in-the-mists-of-time American story of a grateful country honoring its brave and dedicated sons.

Book excerpt: This is the extraordinary story of Naafi - The Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes - a quietly fantastic retail operation that has seen action in almost every theatre of war over the last century.Beginning with the origins of regimental canteens, through the First World War, World War Two, Suez, Korea, Cyprus, the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan, Canteen Army charts the impact that Naafi has had on every aspect of military lives and British culture. It describes how Naafi was never willing to be just a spectator, and maintained the highest standards under shellfire, rocket attacks, air-raids and in the galleys of Navy ships on the high seas. Using diaries, exclusive interviews, news archives, letters, and company records, Canteen Army takes a lively journey to tell the story of how Naafi has worked alongside the remarkable men and women ensuring Britain's survival in the Second World War, and its continued security since then. There are vivid descriptions of what life was like working this vast retail operation, which operated thousands of canteens, pubs, cafes, shops and hotels from the deserts of North Africa to the freezing wastelands of Iceland. Naafi was also responsible for ENSA, the much-ribbed entertainment branch, which chalked up countless wartime shows around the world, featuring stars like Gracie Fields, Arthur Askey and George Formby. Those who have served with the British forces know what a remarkable job Naafi do in both war and peacetime. The men and women of the institute, while sharing the dangers of their comrades in uniform, provide the small luxuries that make life in a war zone more bearable. From the Dunkirk to the battle of the Falklands, Nathan Morley's Canteen Army brings to life the far-reaching history of this much-loved institution."Where our armed forces go Naafi is never far behind. They provide a wonderful service. They build morale. They are there when it matters." - Michael Heseltine
