Description
In 1915 army chaplain Philip ‘Tubby’ Clayton established the Everyman’s Club at Talbot House in the small town of Poperinge, only a few miles from the front line in Ypres.
In this house rank was irrelevant, orders were prohibited, and all soldiers were encouraged to forget about the war.
This exhibition at Guildhall Library tracks the story of Tubby and this ‘oasis’ for soldiers during the First World War.
It includes items from Talbot House, the memoirs of Tubby and the actual hut in which he wrote them after fleeing the Germans.
