I was interested to read the article ‘In
Flanders fields...’ in August’s en and specially to see the picture of the attic chapel at
Talbot House, which was known as ‘the
Upper Room’.
My father fought in WWII, and after the
war
joined
the
local branch of Toc H,
which was involved in many good works.
On two occasions I went with him and a
group to Poperinge and Ieper/Ypres. At that
time
(about 1965) I was an evangelical
Anglican curate and conducted a service of
the Lord’s Supper
for
the group
in
the chapel at Talbot House – I suspect I was the
only minister not to have worn eucharistic
vestments for such a service!
