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."

John R. "Muscles" Bennett (1918 - ?)

Super picture. For once, this service dress looks 'used' - creases on a pocket and on the sleeve; bulging right pocket (who knows what!). His tie looks a bit rough, too. Either his batman has let him down, or he has just come inside for a photograph, after a morning's hack. Nice picture. Interesting story.

9th (Queen's Royal) Lancers. Not 9th Battalion.

Later Sir Charles Wilfrid Bennett, Baronet Kirklington, (15 Mar 1898 - 25 Apr 1952), son of Sir Albert James Bennett, 1st Bt., MP (1872-1945) and Caroline Carleton Backus. 'Wilfrid' Bennett married Agnes Marion Somervell, daughter of James Somervell, on 3 June 1927. They had two children: A daughter Anne Bennett b. 7 Oct 1928; and a son, Ronald Wilfrid Murdoch Bennett, later 3rd Bt, b. 25 Mar 1930. He received the Territorial Decoration for his Territorial service. He gained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the service of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry. After the First World War he was admitted to Inner Temple in 1924 and was entitled to practice as a Barrister-at-Law. He fought in the Second World War, where he was mentioned in despatches. He succeeded to the title of 2nd Baronet Bennett, of Kirklington, Nottingham on 14 December 1945. He held the office of Metropolitan Police Court Magistrate between 1946 and 1952.//
