Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Talbot House Poperinghe was opened in November 1915 as a 'Soldiers Club' - a haven from hell - by two Chaplains of the 6th Division, Philip 'Tubby' Clayton and Neville Talbot. The house was dedicated to the memory of Gilbert Talbot, Neville's brother, who had been killed in in the afternoon counter-attack (set up to re-take the positions lost in the early morning Liquid Fire attack of the same day) at Hooge on 30 July 1915. For the following three years, except for a short period in 1918, the doors of Talbot House never closed and it became a 'home-from-home' for the officers and men of the British and Imperial armies of the time. Today Talbot House is a living museum offering a friendly greeting and a cup of tea to visitors on their arrival - a house rule established by 'Tubby' Clayton in 1915. Bringing to the reader the history of the house and its contents, the book brings to life the multitude of events that took place in and around it as well as telling the little-known stories of Clayton's frequent trips to the front line to minister to the men in the trenches around Ypres During the grim years of World War I many Englishmen, particularly those associated with London's gentlemen's clubs, attempted to keep some of the pre-war traditions alive, and even use them to aid in the war effort. London clubs and country homes were opened to servicemen on leave or recuperating from wounds. Attempts were also made to provide extra amenities to the men serving at the front. A Haven in Hell is the story of one such wartime operation, centering around Talbot House, known as "Every Man's Club", and the activities of British author and wartime personality "Tubby" Clayton. Talbot House still exists and has been preserved as it was in World War I, and this book also serves as a guide to this unique landmark. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
