Title: 'A Touch of Paradise in Hell'

Description: The story of Talbot House (Toc H) from when it was established in Poperinge through to the end of the war. Through the use of letters including those of Chaplain Philip ‘Tubby’ Clayton, archives and first-hand accounts the book’s author Jan Louagie (Honorary Secretary to the Talbot House Association) gives the reader a clear insight into the daily life of this best known ‘Every-Man’s Club’ and reveals how it offered a sanctuary, a ‘home from home’ for over half a million men on their way to the front.
