Condition: New. 2023 N & M Press reprint (of original 1920 edition). 112 pages + maps & line drawings Dimensions : 13.97 x 21.59 cmPublished Price £12.99 Works such as this guide formed the 'Roots of Remembrance' that 100+ years on still attract pilgrims in their droves to visit the Western front and its memorials to the fallen. Much research on the commemoration and memory of the Great War in the twenties and thirties concentrates on how vast numbers of people sought to deal with the deaths of their loved ones, or veterans' attempts to interpret their wartime experiences. Such studies often focus on the memorialisation and commemoration on the home front. Far less research considers battlefields as sites of memory and tourism. The explanation of the strategic importance of Ypres, which has turned it into such a sanguinary sire, was also linked to its status as a place of remembrance and tourism; its proximity to, and easy access from, the Channel coast. Hard military realities created emotional ties which then combined with the practicalities of accessing Ypres, making it the crucial site for battlefield visiting. From the moment the conflict ended, British visitors began to arrive, seeking out the graves of loved ones, or the place they were lost, to wonder at the amazing spectacle of the battlefield, and explore the sites they had once fought.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Author: Toc H (Talbot House Association); Clayton, Rev. Philip ("Tubby" Clayton) Title: Liber Vitae: Being the Roll of Honour of Talbot House, Poperinghe and Ypres, & Others of the Elder Brethren Commemorated in Toc H — with signed letter referencing limited edition, photograph, and ephemera Publication Details: London: All Hallows Porch Room, Byward Street, E.C., 1928 Condition: Very Good (book); Ephemera Near Fine / Near New Description: A rare and highly coherent Toc H archival grouping centred on the 1928 Liber Vitae, accompanied by original contemporary material directly connected to the Toc H Christmas Service of that year. This exceptional association copy comprises: A near fine / near new Christmas Service Sheet (1928), including "Family Evening Prayer for Toc H," remarkably well preserved An original typed and signed letter dated 19 December 1928 from Rev. Philip "Tubby" Clayton, founder of Toc H, on official headed paper of All Hallows Porch Room, Byward Street, London E.C.3, bearing the "National Scheme for Disabled Men" emblem, addressed to Mrs Macmillan A contemporary black and white photograph clearly depicting Tubby Clayton (face visible) in the company of fellow Toc H members, very likely taken at the 1928 Christmas Service, preserved in near new condition Of particular significance, in the signed letter Tubby Clayton explicitly refers to the accompanying volume as a limited edition, providing rare contemporary confirmation of its status and enhancing both its bibliographic and historical importance as a documented primary source. The coherence of the group is especially notable: the letter (December 1928), service sheet, and photograph all relate to the same event and moment in the life of Toc H, forming a tightly integrated and historically resonant ensemble. The book itself is in very good condition, with firm binding and clean contents. The accompanying ephemera are exceptionally well preserved, with the signature bold and the photograph of excellent clarity. Such complete and internally coherent Toc H groupings—combining signed correspondence, photographic material, and event-specific ephemera—are rarely encountered outside institutional or archival holdings. Comparable complete groupings of this nature are seldom offered on the market. A museum-quality archival ensemble of considerable interest to collectors and institutions concerned with Toc H, First World War remembrance, and interwar Anglican religious history. …
