Saville: British army chief rejects blame

The British army’s most senior officer present on Bloody Sunday today said “there was certainly nothing to be proud of” on that day.

Major Gen Robert Ford, Commander of Land Forces in Northern Ireland, said he was “extremely sad” about the 13 unarmed men that paratroopers killed on a Derry civil rights march but he was not responsible for and did not accept any blame for what happened.
