EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Memorial Chapel of Talbot House in Poperinghe, Belgium, as it stands today, nearly a century after it was first established as a rest house for soldiers and officers during World War I. The chapel, located on the top floor of the historic building, retains much of its original character, with a simple carpenter's bench serving as an altar. The Talbot House, also known as Toc H in Army signallers' abbreviation, was the brainchild of Padre Philip Byard Clayton, affectionately known as "Tubby," who opened its doors on December 11, 1915. During the war, over 20,000 officers and soldiers found solace and spiritual comfort in the chapel's peaceful surroundings. The name Talbot House was translated into the military code for "to the C of H," or "to the Church of the Holy Cross," reflecting the spiritual mission of the house. The Talbot House played a significant role in the lives of many soldiers during the First World War, particularly those serving in the Ypres area. This poignant image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the scenes that once unfolded within these hallowed walls.
