New Book

The history of Talbot House during the First World War and the Second World War is already well known and was described in previously published books by Jan Louagie. After many months of research, his new book ‘Talbot House in the interwar period’ was published. This discusses the history of the House during the interwar period.

This publication is available in the museum shop or can be obtained via info@talbothouse.be.

The Archives

When Tubby travelled after the war, he always took the same suitcase with him. This contained all of the most important documents of Talbot House and Toc H. Discover the 1926 adventure in the following video. The Archives (February 2025) ENG
