The Memorials
Those past students of the school who were among the fallen of the two world wars are commemorated in the Boston Grammar School library.
1914-18
While researching for his series of books commemorating the fallen whose names appear on the Boston War Memorial (and others in Boston) Dr William M Hunt, MPhil, PhD identified three casualties of the First World War who were Boston Grammar School pupils not included on the School Memorial:
- Leonard Edward Adams, 2nd Battalion, The London Regiment - killed 13th March 1918
- Arthur Rastall, Royal Engineers - died of wounds, 16th November 1918 (buried in the Military Section of Boston Cemetary)
- Edgar Sutcliffe, Labour Corps - killed, 17 August 1917
1939-45
Dr Hunt also found two casualties of the Second World War who were ommitted from the memorial:
- Dennis Henry Bettison
- Thomas Edward Lawson
Dr Hunt's two volumes "A Town Remembers Those commemorated on the Boston War Memorial" are published in association with the "History of Boston Project". Volume I: The First World War; Volume II: The Second World War.
