George Limbrey Sclater-Booth, 2nd Baron Basing

Brigadier-General George Limbrey Sclater-Booth, 2nd Baron Basing, CB, DL, JP (1 January 1860 – 8 April 1919) was a British Army officer, a peer and a civic leader in Hampshire.

He succeeded his father as Baron Basing in 1894, held the office of Justice of the Peace (JP), and was a Deputy Lieutenant for Hampshire.

Lord Basing received the brevet rank of lieutenant-colonel on 29 November 1900, and in late Spring 1901 he was given an independent command, composed of his own regiment and the necessary complement of artillery.

[4] He spent some time in India in an official capacity, with a small account of his daily life and dealings there being contained within chapter three of the book My Mother Told Me by Charles Chenevix Trench, recounted to the author by May Hargreaves.

[5] He was awarded the 2nd class of the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle in late 1902, following an inspection of the Royal Dragoons by Emperor Wilhelm II, who was colonel-in-chief of the regiment.
