On 1 January 1917 the Army Canteen Committee was created to take over canteens at home, later becoming the Navy and Army Canteen Board. In 1919 this also took over the Expeditionary Force Canteens. On 1 January 1921 the Navy and Army Canteen Board formed the nucleus of the NAAFI.
Tales from the Supply Depot has an article :

Army Canteen Committee Fork

Knife item. Spoon to be snapped up, no doubt. Wonder how much the buyer forked out?

The Army Canteen Committee also did crockery. They eventually became the Navy and Army Canteen Board.
