EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Memorial Plaque for Little Talbot House, Ypres, Belgium (2011) This evocative memorial plaque, located on the wall of No. 83 Rijselstraat in the historic town of Ypres, Belgium, marks the site of the "Little Brother" of Talbot House. Established on 13 November 1917, this unique establishment lasted for just three short months until the withdrawal from Passchendaele during the Fourth Ypres campaign of World War I. The Talbot House, also known as Toc H, was a much-loved haven for soldiers during the First World War. Founded by British Army officers T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) and Philip "Tubby" Clayton, the house provided a respite from the horrors of the battlefield, offering soldiers a place to rest, relax, and enjoy a hot meal. The "Little Brother" of Talbot House, located in Ypres, was established to provide similar comfort and solace to soldiers serving in the area. The memorial plaque commemorates the brief but significant history of this important wartime institution. The inscription reads, "Little Brother of Talbot House, Ieper 1917," with a cross and poppy emblem symbolizing the sacrifices made by the soldiers who sought refuge within its walls. The plaque serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the soldiers who fought in the First World War, and the importance of providing comfort and support to those in need during times of conflict. This photograph was taken in 2011, capturing the essence of history and the enduring legacy of the Talbot House and its "Little Brother" in Ypres. The plaque remains an important part of the town's rich historical heritage, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to pay their respects and honor the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the First World War.
