    I think this is really different type of picture. It features 2 women boxing. Back then, people didn't allow woman to box and this picture is really revolutionary.

    That Great War Forum page suggests that he later became Chairman of the Hyde Park Hotel (although it cites no sources): 1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=790...

    There is definitely some connection, however, with the hotel trade:

    The Directory of Directors for 1921 (Google Books snippet), p. 120:
    "Bennett.-- Mr. Basil H. Bennett, Little Paddock, Chobham, Surrey, is a director of the--
    Queen Anne Residential Mansions and Hotel Company, Limited."
