About the talkJoin fellow Boundless members this September for an engaging and informative club night talk. Last year, Louisa Evans gave a fascinating presentation on Talbot House, known as “Toc H”, in Poperinge, Belgium. Established in 1915 during the First World War, when conditions in the trenches were at their worst, Talbot House provided a vital refuge where soldiers could rest and recover. It became known as an “Every Man’s Club”, offering comfort and a sense of normality amid the chaos of war. The name “Talbot House” was shortened to “TH”, which in the army phonetic alphabet of the time became “Toc H”. Today, Talbot House still stands, preserving its remarkable history. We are delighted to welcome Louisa back on 2nd September. As a trustee of the charity, she will share insights into how Talbot House has developed from the end of the First World War to the present day. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this unique and enduring piece of history. |
