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.
