EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Rome, Italy during World War II, the NaFI Alexander Club stood as a beacon of comfort and respite for Allied soldiers. Commandeered from a department store roughly the size of London's Selfridges, the club was named after General Harold Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Tunis, the Allied commander. The Alexander Club was a sprawling complex with multiple floors, centrally featuring an internal, roofed, open space. This unique architectural design created an inviting atmosphere, with natural light filtering in through the glass roof. At the heart of this space was a stunning pool adorned with goldfish and a captivating fountain. Surrounding this tranquil oasis were various sections dedicated to the well-being of the soldiers. One such section was the Education Section, where soldiers could engage in intellectual pursuits, learn new skills, or simply relax with a good book. Another essential section was the War Maps area, where soldiers could study the latest military intelligence and plan strategies. The maps, updated regularly, provided vital information on the ongoing war efforts, allowing the soldiers to stay informed and prepared. The NaFI Alexander Club in Rome served as a testament to the Allied forces' commitment to the welfare of their soldiers, offering them a brief reprieve from the harsh realities of war. The club's facilities, including the Education Section and War Maps, played a crucial role in maintaining the morale and readiness of the troops during this pivotal period in world history.
