His wife, Sophia, died in Nottingham aged 82 in 1952.
Pte. Booker joined the Royal Scots, but was later transferred to the 576th Home Service Employment Company, Labour Corps, probably because he was no longer sufficiently robust for front line service. He died in February 1919 at Dover, Kent, but his body was brought home and he was buried in the General Cemetery, Nottingham
