"Boiston, Windy Nook, Joseph, D.S.M., R.N., died May 21st 1947."
Andrew Plant has submitted the following:
Just for your notes for North East War Memorials Project re Joseph Boiston of Windy Nook, died 1947. He was my partner’s 4th cousin, born August 2nd 1915, son of Charles Johnston Boiston and Annie Lynch. He won the DSM for his part in sinking a U-boat while serving on H.M.S. Fearless in 1940. He did not marry or leave any children. However he was one of 10 children so there are probably plenty of nephews and nieces around.
He is not on the CWGC lists.
Joseph Boiston is remembered on our List of Ships’ crews
