A mural at “Free Derry corner” as the family of victims of “Bloody Sunday” gather before making their way to court as the first listing of the case against “Soldier F” on Sept. 18, 2019, in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. “Soldier F,” a British Army veteran in his 60s, was charged with the murders of two men killed during the 1972 incident. Thirteen people died when soldiers opened fire on demonstrators in Derry on Jan. 30 of that year. “Soldier F,” who is unlikely to attend the trial in person, is the only soldier charged in connection with the deaths.
