Frank Falla (1911 - 1983) was a Guernsey journalist, best known for his experiences during the German occupation, which he detailed in this 1967 memoir, The Silent War. Like other islanders who committed acts of protest, defiance and resistance during the occupation, Falla drew upon the skills of his day job as a journalist and acting editor on The Star, and then assistant editor of the Guernsey Evening Press, to carry out his own acts of defiance out of hours. Falla was one of five men involved in the writing of an underground newsletter named GUNS (Guernsey Underground News Service). This news service had its origin with four people. Ernest Legg and Joseph Gillingham, through Joseph's wife Henrietta, gave the BBC news every morning to Charles Machon, the brainchild of the operation, and a linotype operator at The Star newspaper. Less than a year later, Falla and Cecil Duquemin joined the group. Henrietta pulled out after becoming pregnant, fearful of the risks she was taking. Falla's role was to sub-edit the news brought in by Duquemin, Legg and Gillingham, as well as to provide his own contributions. The men involved in the news sheet were denounced. Falla was imprisoned in April 1944, given a sentence by a German military court of 1 year 4 months, and then deported straight to Frankfurt-am-Main Preungesheim in Germany, via St Malo, on 4 June 1944. Legg, Duquemin and Gillingham were deported with him. Machon had been deported in April to another destination in Germany. Ref II 3.…
