Charles Falls


Charles Fausset Falls was a unionist politician in Northern Ireland.
Falls studied on HMS Conway and then at Trinity College, Dublin, then managed the family estate, at Fallsbrook, County Tyrone. During World War I, he served as a major in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.
Falls stood unsuccessfully for the Ulster Unionist Party in Fermanagh and Tyrone at the 1923 UK general election, being defeated by two Nationalist Party candidates. At the 1924 election, the Nationalist Party did not stand, and Falls was elected alongside fellow UUP member James Pringle, easily beating two Sinn Féin members. Falls did not stand in 1929, when two Nationalist Party members gained the constituency unopposed.

Falls' eldest son was the historian Cyril Falls.
