The Chaplain (Rev A.J. Grace) on the hospital ship "Manunda" wrote:
"I was with Cpl Falkner for some two days from the time he was brought aboard at Moresby until he passed away during the first night out after leaving Milne Bay. He was very badly wounded and in addition had had malaria. He was very bright when he first came on the ship and was hopeful of pulling through. When his condition became worse he was given a blood transfusion and seemed to rally. he was conscious almost to the end and asked me to send his love to his parents and other friends at home. He also said "Padre, you stay by me, don't leave me will you". So of course I stayed with him in prayer till he peacefully passed away. I hope when I come to Sydney I may be able to see his parents and tell them. He was a fine young man and just full of courage. His mates said he very nearly passed away in the field hospital at Moresby but his dogged determination pulled him through. If you see his parents will you please extend to them my deepest sympathies. tell them he was not buried alone, but another lad, and one who saved many of our Australian boys' lives and sacrifice his own, a New Guinea boy who died a few hours after, was buried at the same time, 9 a.m. on October 29th 1942.
