Notes & Comments

Notes: According to Internet information Talbot House was built by in December 1915, Army Chaplain Reverend Philip 'Tubby' Clayton founded Talbot House in the Belgian town of Poperinghe. It was one of many charitable establishments set up to provide welfare for soldiers serving abroad. Clayton intended Talbot House to be a warm and friendly environment, where all soldiers - regardless of rank - could come and forget about the war raging around them, even if only for a short time. For this reason, it earned the nickname the 'Every Man's Club'.

The exact date of publication has not been ascertained but may my sometime between 1915-1920 or thereby.
