Talk:People's Palace, Brisbane

Herbert Henry Booth
I think it was Herbert Henry Booth (son of William Booth) who proposed the People's Palace in Brisbane as he was in command of the Australian operation in 1899. However, many of the Booth family were involved in the Salvation Army and they travelled widely. William Booth (founder of the Salvation Army) certainly was alive durint this period and did visit Australia, but he was normally known as "General Booth" so I think the newspaper reference to Commandant Booth is most likely referring to Herbert. But I am not sure enough to say so in the article. Kerry (talk) 04:59, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
