A blue plaque in recognition of the Guernsey Active Secret Press will be unveiled on Tuesday 6th May, at 10.30am at 34 St George's Esplanade (China Red), St Peter Port. Everyone is welcome to attend.

When radios were confiscated by the German occupying forces in 1940, the work of GASP began. From June 1942 to May 1945, GASP was producing weekly and monthly newsletters. The threat of arrest was real - many islanders were prosecuted for possessing radio sets, and those behind the Guernsey Underground News Service (GUNS), another resistance network also distributing news, were deported.

The Blue Plaque will commemorate those involved in GASP and the risks they took listening to broadcasts outside the island.
