Obituary
From the February 2001 issue of The Old Bostonian
Arthur Rastall born in 1892, attended Staniland School and then BGS. When he left school he worked as a sorting clerk and telegraphist at Boston Post Office. At the end of 1917 he went into the army as a wireless operator in the Royal Engineers. His death came suddenly. He was engaged to a young lady who lived in Rotherham and she was taken ill and died. Arthur must have been extremely upset. He contracted pneumonia and died at 108 Wellgate, Rotherham on 16th November 1918.
He was buried in Boston and at his funeral his coffin was carried by four postmen in uniform.
