Sorry, are you saying Sally has said it’s this chap with the Gandalf beard?

Also matey boy on the plate is clearly wearing military uniform and has an medals and orders visible which match this well know portraits of Lord Kitchener.

The iconography around the portrait suggest Great Britain and Empire (Australian, Canada, India and Africa)... I don’t see how that connects with William Booth.

As mentioned in post #3 it does link to Boer war, as does Kitchener. I don’t wonder if it’s just a case of a poor artists impression like the infamous Cristiano Ronaldo bronze.
