Hi All, When the Keynshamlighthorse visited Booth's grave years ago, we also found his son's grave as well, this also mentions Booth VC, very difficult to see in the photo but probably say's the son of Booth VC, this is not an unusual occurance, Pvt Danaher VC who won his cross in the First Boer War 1881, and is buried in Portsmouth, is mentioned on his son's grave in Aldershot Military Cemetery.
