His first flight was from RAF Cranwell on 17 April 1941, he trained in various crew stations on a variety of different aircraft before specializing as Air Gunner/Bomb Aimer.

He also took part in the daylight attack on Le Creusot and Milan - Sgt Boswell's tour of operational duty has been marked by the care and precision he invariably takes before releasing his bombs. He has set a splendid example of courage and devotion to duty. A further honour was conferred with him being mentioned in a despatch for distinguished service on 14 January 1944. His last operational sortie against Tonsberg, Norway was completed on 15 April 1945.

* ALFRED WAINWRIGHT MBE (BRITISH 1907 - 1991), GEAL CHÀRN ink on paper, signed and titled in the mountmounted, framed and under glassimage size 12cm x 20cm, overall size 27cm x 32cm Note: Alfred Wainwright wrote his Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells between 1952 and 1966. The simple line drawings and clear concise directions make the seven pocket sized guides almost as essential as good walking boots. Wainwright died in 1991. He is remembered with a memorial in the church at Buttermere. Wainwright was born into poverty in the Lancashire town of Blackburn in 1907. The son of a stonemason, he left school when he was 13 and became an office boy in Blackburn Borough Engineer's Department. At the age of 23 he managed a holiday away from home, to the Lake District. It was love at first sight. In his book Fellwanderer Wainwright described his first visit there. "I was utterly enslaved by all I saw," he said. "Here were no huge factories, but mountains; no stagnant canals, but sparkling crystal-clear rivers; no cinder paths, but beckoning tracks that clamber through bracken and heather to the silent fastnesses of the hills. That week changed my life." He qualified as an accountant and moved to Kendal in 1941, rising to become Borough Treasurer seven years later. He spent every spare moment walking the fells that he loved so deeply. The first Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells was published in 1955 and in his introduction he wrote: 'This book is one man's way of expressing his devotion to Lakeland's friendly hills. It was conceived, and is born, after many years of inarticulate worshipping at their shrines. It is, in very truth, a love-letter.' He spent 13 years compiling the seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells, tramping the fells in all weathers at weekends, with raincoat, map and camera. Most of his fine, individual drawings were taken from his photographs. The Pictorial Guides were and are still distinctive. Fearing that printers would misspell words, his handwritten work was reproduced directly on to the page; the Westmorland Gazette of Kendal published them all. Wainwright also devised, during 1970-1, the Coast-to-Coast Walk which starts at St Bees Head on the Cumbrian coast and ends at Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. This is perhaps the most popular of all long-distance walks. The inaugural meeting of 'The Wainwright Society' was held on November 9th 2002 at Ambleside Youth Hostel. Numerous sketchbooks and volumes of drawings followed but in 1984 his writing took a dramatic turn. He agreed to write a book for the London publishers, Michael Joseph, which was illustrated with photographs by Derry Brabbs. Fellwalking with Wainwright became a bestseller overnight and was followed by a further seven illustrated books. Two of the books, Wainwright in Scotland and Wainwright's Coast-to-Coast Walk were accompanied by BBC2 television programmes and suddenly the reclusive walker became a virtual 'national treasure'.
