TOC H. FOUNDER
BISHOP TALBOT’S DEATH
RUGBY, April 3
The associate founder of Toe H, the Rt. Rev. Neville Talbot, assistant Bishop of Southwell, died suddenly to-day. It was ■ early in 1915 in Flanders that Lieutenant-General Sir Reginal May suggested to Bishop Talbot, then senior chaplain of the 6th Division, that a soldiers’ club might be established at Poperinghe. Rev. P. B. Clayton was selected to assist in the work.
The hostel set up was named Talbot House, in memory of Bishop Talbot’s younger brother, Gilbert, who was killed in action some months before. The principles on which the hostel was founded—Fellowship, service, fairmindedness and Christianity—led to the beginning, after the war, of the movement called Toe H., the signallers’ contraction of Talbot House.
