Talbot House in Poperinge

Talbot House in Poperinge is one of the most emotive sites of the Great War in

Flanders.

It was here that Rev. Philip "Tubby" Clayton opened a soliders club named Gilbert

Talbot, who was killed at Hooge in 1915.

More than half a million soldiers visited the club to play the piano and borrow

books, thus providing them with a brief escape from the brutality of the war.

The Talbot House chapel has remained untouched since 1918.

There could be no more fitting tribute to the casualties of the war.
