370 M the money goes.. In the first four years of the war over £20,000,000 has been distributed to the Forces by Naafi in cash rebates, entertainments, amenities and grants. That's where Naafi profits go. And every month thousands of Naafi cheques varying in amounts from £5 to £1,000 are posted to units, according to the trade of the unit's canteen. Irrespective of profit or loss, a percentage of the cash takings in each canteen is remitted each month to the unit com- mander. Naafi depends on the larger establishments to "carry" losses incurred in the smaller.
