On his return in 1916, he was attached to the Royal Flying Corps, and after a month’s training obtained his wings and was posted to France in October 1916.

Lieutenant Boustead was subsequently mentioned in Despatches on December 13th, 1917. His Wing Commander wrote to his father ‘Your son was a very gallant officer and died a magnificent death, and even if he receives no official recognition of his gallantry, the story of his last fight will remain as fine a memorial as any official reward could be’.
