Welcome to Talbot House, the every man's club from the First World War. Situated behind the lines, it became a haven in hell for thousands of troops.

Guiding back at my “home from home,” Talbot House feels very appropriate to be here on VE Day. I often in my talks make references to the connection of First and Second World War veterans.

It was an honour to take part in the Toc H World Chain of Light this evening and light the Brampton Lamp for the first time in many years.
Thank you to everyone who came to share this special occasion with us.

I was at the lighting in TOC H.
A wonderful service officiated by the Rev Richard Clements.

Whenever I visit the Chapel @TalbotHousTubby it seems that the Great War soldiers who worshipped & sought solace there are only just out of sight, their prayers & hymns just on the edge of hearing. Please support its restoration if you are able #WW1 #FWW

@TalbotHousTubby Our Talbot House rose is flowering today, just as my friend @tomcarradine heads back over to the Salient. Best wishes to all in Poperinge. ♥️🇧🇪

During a Battlefield Study in Belgium Padre Gower, chaplain to 1 ATR, performed Baptisms for three recruits at Talbot House.
@TalbotHousTubby is affectionately linked with the Army and chaplaincy thanks to Padre Philip “Tubby” Clayton who opened a soldiers club there during WWI.
ALT Army personnel stood side by side in an 'at ease' with their chaplain in front of an Altar.

In true @TalbotHousTubby style, we have drunk tea and had a service in the Upper Room.
You can decide which was more important to the troops of the First World War.

As we markt #DDay80, we remember our Talbotousians who gave their lives. Amongst them is Captain Gilbert Talbot, son of Chaplain Neville Talbot. Just like the House, he is named after Neville's brother who fell in 1915.

Shortly after DDay, he landed on the beaches in Normandy and was commanding the Company QH of 1st Rifle Brigade at Balleroy (Bayeux). During some heavy shelling, he and four others were killed. Today, you can visit Gilbert at the civilian Eastern Cemetery at Bayeux.
